The Bulgarian State Railways have welcomed the new year with two new locomotives named after Bulgarian rulers - "Asparuh" and "Tervel". These have been the first new machines for nearly 30 years, BNT reported. They are fully digitalized, with state-of-the-art security systems.
At the moment, they are moving at a maximum speed of 130 km/h, but it is expected to be increased to 160 km/h, which will reduce travel time. The locomotives travel on the lines from Sofia to Varna and to Burgas.
