Fictive operator, Trans Polar Railways, with its many routes in Northern Europe, 
Russia and Scandinavia, utilises a large number of locomotive types, seen here is 
the type 2E2-9 No. 2E2903 in one of Trans Polar Railways more colourful schemes.  <br>
<br>
Built in Spain, the 2E2-9 has no dedicated route, like the high speed TGX, ICX, and 
Orbis R300 sets, or the City link commuter sets, instead the 2E2-9 is a general purpose 
locomotive, operating all over the network.<br>
<br>
Differing from the prototype "G.E.T", the Trans Polar 2E2-9 has a single pantograph to 
pick up the power, instead varying voltages are catered for by the electrical equipment 
inside the locomotive, resulting in a cleaner looking locomotive.<br>
