0-8-0 narrow gauge steamlocomotive # 479 built 1918 by Henschel exhibited in the hall of Sofia main station. Until 1964, the locomotive, designated BDZ 479.60, was in service on the 67 km long Kaspican line, which was used to develop rural areas and transport wheat and timber. Originally, a 110 km long standard gauge line was planned from Kaspican to Silistra on the Danube, which was under Bulgarian control from 1916 to 1919. Instead, the 600 mm narrow-gauge line was built, which in 1946 included twelve brigade locomotives. In the 1960s, the railroad became increasingly less important due to the emergence of road traffic, so that it was closed in 1964.
BDZ 479.60 was then transferred together with some sister locomotives to the 9.8 km long narrow-gauge line General Todorov - Petric, on which nine brigade locomotives were in service. Some of the trains had to be hauled with a lead locomotive on the steep line, so that four locomotives were always under steam at the same time. Operations were also discontinued here in 1969 and the line was dismantled, but BDZ 479.60 was preserved as a monument in Radomir.
