"The Bulgarian State Railways (Bulgarian: Български държавни железници, Balgarski darzhavni zheleznitsi, abbreviated as БДЖ, BDZ or BDŽ) are Bulgaria´s state railway company and the largest railway carrier in the country, established as an entity in 1888. The company´s headquarters are located in the capital Sofia. Since the 1990s the BDŽ has met serious competition from automotive transport. Up to 2002 the company also owned/managed the railway infrastructure in the country, when according to EU regulations[clarification needed] a new state company, the National Railway Infrastructure Company, was founded and became the owner of the infrastructure." - (en.wikipedia.org 27.02.2020)
