The early-morning Yantra express train (Gorna Oryahovitsa - Sofia) has just arrived at Sofia's Central Railway Station. At the helm is locomotive 45 192.2 and one of the engine drivers is disconnecting the cable for the electric heating of the train. Both the machine and the rolling stock for this train are based at Gorna Oryahovitsa and their appearance is the best compliment for the efforts of the railway staff there. The weather was cold and snowy but a perfectly prepared and maintained locomotive does not falter because of the elements - the train arrived right on time. 3 February 2005
