In most countries narrow-gauge railways have changed a lot in the past fifty years. In many cases they have completely dissappeared (like in Bosnia or partly in Austria and Romania ), or have become entirely tourist railways (like in Hungary ), or have become more tram-like, rapid-transit systems with electrification and modern multiple units (like in most of Switzerland ). However the Septemvri-Dobrinishte railway remained as it was many years ago, mostly locally used, being the connection of an enclosed area to the world, and only attracting a few tourists of the daring type. Organizing a trip here was rather complicated though. I don't know many people who are at least interested in it, and some of them are repelled by the fact that only five trains run a day, presumably extremely limiting the photo opportunities. Finally I managed to get the people on this trip and I can tell you in advance that going to Septemvri and going that part of the year was our best decision!
