Balgarianovinite.com A Smartron locomotive, named after Bulgarian revolutionary Vasil Levski, will be presented at Karlovo railway station on Wednesday, the Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ) said. BDZ Executive Director Martin Angelov will introduce the latest delivered locomotive, which will be symbolically set in motion in the presence of Karlovo Mayor Emil Kabaivanov, Municipal Council Chairman Donyo Todorov and invited guests.
Vasil Levski (1837-1873) was born in Karlovo (Central Bulgaria).
The locomotive is the last unit delivered under a contract between Bulgarian State Railways and the Siemens Tron consortium for the delivery and warranty servicing of ten electric locomotives. The most recent delivery brings the total number of Smartron locomotives operated by BDZ to 25. According to the operator, they significantly improve the quality of passenger services and ensure maximum reliability on the main rail routes.
The initiative to name the ten new locomotives after figures from Bulgaria’s National Revival follows the example set by the first 15 locomotives from the same series already in operation, which bear the names of Bulgarian rulers. Each of the new machines features a QR code linking to a section of the Bulgarian State Railways website, where passengers can learn more about the life and legacy of the individuals after whom the locomotives are named.
