BDZ-PP Class 80 SIEMENS Smartron No. 80-038 'Khan Krum' working the early evening FAST7624 (17:25) Sofia-Sever to Vidin on 19th March 2025. It is pictured slowing for the 15 Kilometer speed limit protecting the notoriously dangerous half barrier road crossing at Kumaritsa, a crossing that is constantly abused by the local community. Hence the speed limit on what is the direct main line to Varna! The loco is named after Khan Krum, ruler of Bulgaria from the year 803 to 814.
