A stones throw west of Pirdop is Zlatitsa station. DB CARGO (Bulgaria) Class 56 heavy shunter No. 56616 is present on 9th October 2023 in charge of a lengthy rake of box wagons being systematically loaded via a purpose built ramp visible on the far left of this image. Behind the tipper truck and tree is the very substantial station building, Zlatitsa seeing most passenger services stop here. Next stop further west is Chelopech, again very close and just a few minutes away by train and slightly more by road transport.
