Bulgarian Railway Company A.D.

Българска железопътна компания АД (transliterated: Bulgarska zhelezoputna kompaniya AD), in English, The Bulgarian Railway Company (BRC) is the first privately held railfreight company to obtain a license in Bulgaria.[1]

Control of BRC is shared by five Bulgarian companies and one Romanian company, Grup Feroviar Român Bucharest. BRC's chairman is Vladimir Dunchev, who was formerly the general director of the Bulgarian State Railway Company (BDZ).

On April 13, 2005, Bulgaria's transport ministry awarded the first private license to haul freight over the nation's rail network to the Bulgarian Railroad Company.

The BRC locomotive fleet includes class 87 locomotives exported from the UK.

gollark: The amount of prize owners is *really small*, so not really.
gollark: Making prizes more available wouldn't really do anything bad other than hurt trading value of existing ones.
