Locomotive 45 190.6 with the stopping train Varna-Shumen awaiting departure time in the station of Varna. The sight is a bit unusual - stopping trains are rarely hauled by class 45 machines and this one has come all the way from its home depot in Gorna Oryahovitsa. The engine driver explained that the locomotive had arrived earlier with another train and instead of remaining idle in the depot could pull the train to Shumen and back and then be coupled to another train towards Gorna Oryahovitsa. 20 August 2004
