A variety of inscriptions on the side of locomotive 46-242-4 of BDZ. The red plate with the white edges in the upper left corner is the builder's plate. The large golden plate is from the Croatian locomotive factory Koncar and it shows that the locomotive has been modernised there in 2003. Below that plate is a smaller red one reading "Burgas" - the city where the home depot of this locomotive is. Finally, there are two numbers in the upper right corner of the picture. They show some of the locomotive's dimensions. 19.80 m. is the total length of the machine buffer to buffer while 10.30 m. is the distance between the middle wheels of each section (this is a Co-Co locomotive). 1 January 2004
