Project Aurora Rail is a ficticious carrier, with passenger and several freight contracts.
its headquarters is in in mainland Europe, near to the channel tunnel, (this allows operations
into the UK via the tunnel), operating 2 main types of locomotives. the 3E2 and the 2E2-0,
The 2E2 range is the mainstay of passenger operatons of project Aurora Rail and consists of
several subclasses of locomotive.
seen here is 2E2 class 202 electric locomotive coupled to a 9 car coach rake. The class 202 works
alongside the 203 for passenger operations within Europe, however because it is only dual voltage
its use is restricted to just Germany and Holland where the 203 is able to work most of the EC.
The rake of coaches is 7 standard class cars, one restaurant car and one first class car following
up the rear of the train. the lead coach behind the locomotive is a baggage car for parcels and
passenger luggage, as well as accommodation for the train's attendant.
