Known locally as Banana #1, 44001 leaves Klisura with 3621 Sofia-Burgas.
Only two of these type exist (44001 and 44002) and were refurbished in the 1990’s at Koncar works, being basically a modernised version of the traditional Skoda Bulgarian passenger engines. Initially numbered as 44301 and 44302 on release from works, they became ‘001 and ‘002 shortly after.
Note the full brake behind the loco; something that has died a death in the last couple of years we have been going to Bulgaria.
