Locomotive 44 057.8 (home depot Plovdiv) stops at the station Poduene with a fast train from Sofia to Dimitrovgrad that also includes a sleeping car to Istanbul. In Plovdiv the locomotive will be changed with a diesel machine that will finish the journey to Dimitrovgrad. The engine driver was not sure what locomotive will take on but it is probably a 07 diesel from the Plovdiv depot. 6 October 2004 Photo and scan by Miroslav Georgiev (Miroslav_SG@all.bg)
