OSE (Organismos Sidirodromon Ellados, Greek Railways) diesel locomotive 220 030 stands at Idoméni station whilst working train 410 northwards from Thessaloníki. This loco will be replaced by a Macedonian Railways electric at Gevgelija, just across the border. Though the whole line is nominally electrified at 25kV 50Hz, the Greek section was being worked by diesels due to long term engineering works. Train 410 works through to Beograd and Ljubljana, hence the JŽ restaurant car (at the rear) and Slovenian coaches.
