Founded as Railway Sports Club in 1929, and refounded in 2015, following bankruptcy, the club has played at Stadion Lokomotiv since 1985.
Lokomotiv has won four League titles and four Bulgarian Cups. Lokomotiv established itself as one of Bulgaria's top clubs throughout history, performing strongly both domestically and internationally. The club has spent the majority of its history in the top tier First League (previously A Group), with brief interruptions including a short-lived merging with Slavia Sofia in 1969, as well as an administrative relegation in 2015, due to financial problems.
Lokomotiv traditionally play in red and black stripped shirts, with black shorts and red socks.
