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]
