Septemvri narrow gauge

Bulgaria - 2014

The 760mm narrow gauge line from the mainline at Septemvri to Dobrinishte still sees regular passenger trains four or five times a day. Patronage was good for all the trains at the time of my visit. Bo-Bo diesels of Class 75 (Henschel 1965) and class 77 (1988 from 23 August Works of Bucharest, Romania) work all the traffic although there also two class 81 Bo-Bo diesel shunters in use.
