Locomotive 46-208-5 of the Bulgarian State Railways at the head of an express train from Sofia to Burgas. These type of locomotives were built in Romania and with their fresh yellow-blue livery are arguably one of the best looking not only in Bulgaria but in Europe, in my opinion, despite their considerable age. This train is just entering the freight yard of the railway staion in Yambol and will arrive at the staion itself with a slight delay of only about 5 minutes. Even though the railway system in Bulgaria is not in its best condition, trains running through the southern part of the country are quite punctual and usually do not exceed a 10-minute delay despite the relatively large distances they have to cover
