Pernik-based private sector operator TBD-TP Electroputere LE5100 electrics 46-110 and 46-006 caught in the same shot at Voluyak on 12th March 2025. This company continues to expand it's operations within Bulgaria by acquiring SKODA and Electroputere electric locomotives; 46-110 acquired from Romania while 46-006 was previously with BDZ Cargo, Bulgaria. Both required a huge amount of refurbishment before entering service on the Bulgarian Network, especially 46-006 which was in a very poor state. The latter was one of four examples acquired at auction back in 2018, the first time that BDZ Cargo had disposed of any of this class of locomotive.
