Locomotive in reality

Newag Dragon is a family of six-axle locomotives manufactured by the Polish manufacturer Newag Gliwice since 2009. Of the modifications offered, only electric DC locomotives are in service in 2015.

The locomotive was created as a joint project of the locomotive repairer Zakłady Naprawcze Lokomotyw Elektrycznych (ZNLE) (later Newag Gliwice) in cooperation with Instytut Elektrotechniki Warszawa and the design office EC Engineering. The locomotive was developed in response to specific Polish conditions, where operators prefer heavy trains, for which a six-axle locomotive is more suitable than the more common four-axle locomotives in Western Europe (e.g. Siemens EuroSprinter or Bombardier TRAXX).[1]

Cold start procedure

1. Enter the cabin
2. Activating the cabin
3. Press the button to confirm alertness
4. Raise rear manifold
5. Turn on the HV switch and hold the button for a moment.
6. Turn on the radio station
7. Now, switch off the locomotive handbrake, where the button is located on the rear wall of the cab.
8. Switch the lights to the forward position.
9. Set the train's direction of travel - Forward
10. Switch and hold the brake in the "Reduce braking force" position and wait until the braking force is at 0%.
    • Click ZEW3 button on the radio to confirm the train is ready to the dispatcher.
11. Now it's time to move. Either use the controller (left) or the Num + key to add power.
12. Using the Num - key or reducing power on the controller will reduce the locomotive power and then we can brake the train or apply the electrodynamic brake.
