"Oops, almost missed that one." The reconstructed railroad between Zimnitsa and Tserkovski now allows speeds of up to 130 km/h which put some serious strain on rail photographers. Here locomotive 45 187.2 is making the best use of the modernised railroad, blasting through the plain with the Rodopi train. The photo is taken just outside the town of Straldzha. 27 July 2005
