An electric locomotive, designed to service freight trains, caught fire in the area of the "Freight Station - Ruse".

There were no injuries, only material damage. The machine was not part of a train, but on a separate track, far from buildings and other trains.

The flames from it were extinguished by two firefighting teams. At the moment, it is unclear whose property it is - the state carrier or a private company. Due to standard safety measures, the contact network was turned off. Passengers from two trains from Gorna Oryahovitsa were transported by buses to their final destinations.
