Vaklinov asked Minister Alexiev for assistance the only station in the world, which functioned until 2002 without electricity to be turned into a museum of the narrow gauge railway. At the moment it is not an acting stop because years ago were taken measures by the National Railway Infrastructure Company (NRIC) for its closure.
