In recent years, freight volumes in the sector, with it reaching up 10% in however, the freight volume has decreased and the comparison to other types of transport. The traction- company has reported negative financial indicators. The changes that have occurred in Bulgarian economy, the rolling stock is growing old, which leads to operative market’s liberalization, the impossibility for making problems, increased repair costs and deteriorated quality investments, the obsolete rolling stock, the deteriorating of services, which respectively reduces the competitive quality of transport services and the reduced competitive power. power are among the main reasons for that. The The financial situation of “BSR – Cargo Freights” Ltd. substantiated necessity for increasing the freight volume, is serious. In its short 10-year history, the association has improving the financial indicators and retaining the market registered negative financial indicators which result from share is the main motive for writing this paper.

A Massive Restoration in Bulgaria
Eastern Star Journal of the New Europe MarchRailway 2014 Heritage Trust, helping railway preservation in the New Europe Number 56 December 2014 A Massive Restoration in Bulgaria One of the Bulgarian State Railways’ 46 Class locomotives, reputed to be Europe’s largest tank engines, is shown here under restoration in the Sofia locomotive depot. This 2-12-4T should be ready for operation in 2015. Tsanko Simeonov writes: The development of railways is closely related to many records. Many of us want to ride on the TGV in France or Shinkansen in Japan, or to reach Gornegrat by the remarkable rack railway of the Swiss Railways. Bulgarian Railways also offer unique experiences for railway enthusiasts – rides through the picturesque narrow-gauge line Septemvri – Dobrinishte or through the Iskar Gorge near Sofia on trains hauled by several restored steam locomotives – 609.76, 01.23, 03.12 and 05.01. The rides will be far more exciting, as completion of restoration work on one of the two preserved steam 2-12-4T locomotives, No.46.03, is scheduled for the first half of 2015. The locomotives of the class 46 are well known as the most powerful steam locomotives of BDZ and the largest tank locomotives in Europe. How it all began Several tourist operators showed quite a strong interest in the restoration of the locomotive 46.03. BDZ agreed to check the possibility for the restoration and sent a team of experts to pre-evaluate the technical condition of the locomotive at the Asenovo depot during the autumn of 2013. The results were satisfactory - the locomotive was almost fully equipped and with minor defects. -

Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail. -

New Records of Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Entomological Collections in Bulgaria
НАУКА ЗА ГОРАТА, КН. 1, 2020 FOREST SCIENCE, No 1, 2020 NEw RECORDS OF LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) IN ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS IN BULGARIA Georgi Georgiev Forest research institute, Bulgarian academy of sciences Abstract: during the period 2008-2014, unpublished longhorn beetles in the entomo- logical collections of the Forest research institute, institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research and national museum of natural history in sofia were studied. as a result, 86 taxa belonging to five subfamilies were identified: Prioninae (2 species), lepturinae (29 species and subspecies), spondylidinae (7 species and subspecies), cerambycinae (25 species and subspecies) and lamiinae (23 species and subspecies). in this study, new localities of rare taxa (Aegomorphus krueperi, Cortodera holosericea holosericea, Phymatodes lividus, Pilemia tigrina, Pogonocherus hispidus, Tetrops starkii starkii) were established in Bulgaria. these new records enlarge our knowledge of regional distribution of cerambycids in the country. Key words: cerambycidae, entomological collections, rare species, Bulgaria INTRODUCTION the longhorn beetles (coleoptera: cerambycidae) are relatively well studied in Bulgaria. the results of previous investigations are summarized in two monographs (angelov, 1995; migliaccio et al., 2007), two papers on host plants of xylophagous species (doychev et al., 2017, 2018) and several articles on cerambycid diversity in different mountains of the country (georgiev, 2011; georgiev et al., 2002, 2004, 2005a, 2005b, 2006, 2013, 2018; georgiev, stojanova, 2003; georgiev, hubenov, 2006; migliaccio et al., 2004; rapuzzi, georgiev, 2007, etc.). it must be noted, however, that there is insufficient knowledge about regional distribution of the species. the present work reports information about unpublished records of longhorn beetles in three entomological collections in Bulgaria.
