Final shot of the day before heading back to the apartment was of this pair of BDZ (Cargo) Ruse-based SKODAs, 44-108 and 44-102. They are recorded on the freight only line that connects Voluyak with Iliyantsi Yard. The double-track route is currently being upgraded, if not completely rebuilt. Not just the track and ballast in the foreground that is being replaced but the catenery too. Not an uncommon occurrence in Bulgaria at this present moment in time! The rake of box wagons are almost certainly heading in the Mezdra direction northbound from Iliyantsi on what appears to be a regular freight pathing at this time of day. Location is abeam the Obeyla district of Sofia and the image was taken on 24th March 2025.
