An attraction trip on the narrow gauge railway in Bulgaria with steam locomotive 609.76, organized by railway enthusiasts from England in September 2019. The first part of the route, from Septemvri to Velingrad was made on the previous day (18/09/2019). I've managed to follow the train only through the second but personally, more interesting part of the route - from Velingrad to Dobrinishte, on 19/09/2019. Of course, for the steep gradient and mostly - due to the many tunnels between Tsvetino and Avramovo, a diesel locomotive has been added on the front. At Avramovo station (the highest on the route and on the Balkans), the diesel has been uncoupled and 609.76 took the train towards Dobrinishte.
It is one forgotten video, that I should publish much earlier, but for some reasons I didn't manage to make it earlier. Hope you will enjoy it!
