museum@railwaymodeling.com
The first electric locomotives in the Bulgarian railways were delivered in 1962-1963 from the Skoda factories in Czechoslovakia and the opening of the first electrified route Sofia - Plovdiv was celebrated on the 27 of April, 1963. The projects for electrified routes have date from the past, but a mature consideration of the technologies and the standards had to be done first. After the electrification of the Sofia-Plovdiv line, a periodic construction of new and reconstruction of old lines began. The advantages of the electric locomotives are many, and one of the most important are the high capacity and horse power, along with the simplified mechanism combined with an easy maintenance. In the Bulgarian railways there are locomotives built mainly by Scoda-Plzen - those form classes 41.00 to 45.00, as well as the most powerful six-axle locomotives from class 46.00, built by ELECTROPUTERE, Craiova. We will talk about the Electric Multiple Units manufactured in Riga, Latvia in section - "EMUs".
