Since the unfortunate fatal head-on collision at Lokorsko on 17th January 2025 resulting in the loss of Class 07 No. 07-063 PIMK Rail have been observed using various classes of diesel traction from a variety of sources to trip container trains from the Bozuristhe terminal to nearby Voluyak on the main line. Ruse-based 55-112 of Express services is just one example, captured here on 12th March 2025 working in tandem with a less then pristine 55-151. Retaining the BDZ livery of the previous operator this locomotive carries stickers bearing the name of Re SteeL. Not much is known about this company but the loco is one of many of the BDZ Class 55 workhorses that have been disposed of and found their way into private industry over recent years.
