Beyond the present operational limit at Žabeni, the line has been fully refurbished all the way to the Greek border south of the village of Kremenica. I had visited the then-disused station there on 11/05/2004 (see photos starting here) so didn't go there again: satellite maps suggest that no station has been provided there. This is the view over the level crossing, about 1.5 km north of Kremenica station site, looking westwards. I had driven across this level crossing and turned round in the village to take photos, and I had seen a policeman on patrol, perhaps not surprising this close to the Greek border. He flagged me down, fortunately he spoke some English and he could see that it was a hire car. He asked me if I was lost, but I said no, I just wanted to take some photographs at the railway level crossing. He accepted this and, effectively with his blessing, I stopped clear of the crossing - he could see me from where he was - to take these photographs.
