Class 21 Locomotives
These locomotives, although lower in power, work interchangeably with class 27s. They haul both passenger and freight trains, often in push-pull mode.
During 1993 locomotive 2130 was converted for use as a test bed for class 13 development. It was renumbered 1901 for a time. Subsequently in 2001, it has been restored to standard condition and regained its 2130 number.
