This slightly unusual view of the classic red and white chimney at Voluyak was taken from the freight only connection between Voluyak and Iliyantsi, the view as seen looking west from Obelya. Express services Class 55 diesel No. 55-112 with Class 52 No. 52-171 in tow passes slowly by on the heavily speed restricted route during reconstruction and upgrading that is currently taking place, the line in the foreground out of use when recorded on 19th March 2025. This unusual sighting was moving 52-171 from Pernik-razpredelitelna to Beli izvor, just west of Vraca on the Mezdra to Vidin route.
