It's not a common sight to see diesel locomotives to pull freight trains on electrified lines, but in some cases they will. On this short video, diesel locomotive 06 128 is on an additional freight service from Kurilo to Voluyak stations near Sofia. Shunting operations in the stations in the Sofia area usually are done by diesel locomotives due to the "Last mile" needs, so in this case for such short distance there's no need to arrange an additional electric locomotive. In the video the "Sulzer" loco is captured between Kurilo and Iliyantsi stations.
