BDZ-PP Class 44 & 45 Locos.
Skoda 68E1-E7, 1975-1983. Bo-Bo, 4210hp
These superb Czech designed electrics work the majority of BDZ’s loco hauled trains across all routes. This fleet list is naturally completely unofficial and banged together in good faith – better than it only sitting on my computer.Anything marked as * is particularly guesstimated. I have included what I believe to be every loco that transferred to BDZ-PP at sectorisation.
A number of locos are renumbered between 44/45 after exchange of bogies (44-130kmh, 45-110kmh), I am not particularly trying to keep up with this and there may well be others shown differently to below.
The depot allocation is again as believed, it is also only a very general guide to what trains might produce certain locos as much is just thrown back on the next train and does not follow the diagrams anyway!
За българи ; “Operational” = оперира, “Stored” or “Withdrawn” = спря на депо, “Scrapped” = бракувани
