First of the third batch of SIEMENS Smartron Class 80 electric locomotives to enter service with BDZ-PP was 80-070. When this image was recorded on the morning of 22nd March 2025 we see it running northbound through Kurilo with the FAST 2611 (07:06) Sofia-Sever to Varna service. PIMK Rail enjoy a considerable presence at this location entrusted with the contract to moving loaded/empty fuel tanks from and to Varna. Loaded tanks are tripped into the nearby SAKSA FUELS distribution facility, usually by Class 55 diesel shunters.
