In the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotive wheel arrangement, a 2-4-4-0 is a locomotive with two leading wheels, two sets of four driving wheels, and no trailing wheels. Examples of this type were constructed as Mallet locomotives.
The 4-6-6-4 locomotives (Nos. 903 and 904) were purchased from the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway and sold back between 1946 and 1950. Diesel Locomotives [ edit ]
The first series, Nord 2.821–2.832, designed by L. Beugniot as 2-4-0 locomotives, was built by André Koechlin & Cie in Mulhouse in 1870–1871. [1] The locomotive had a double frame with two driving axles and a leading axle which had a clearance of 10 mm (0.39 in) on each side. [2] The firebox had an arced top and sat between the two driving ...
From 1858, he began experimenting with 2-4-0 designs for passenger work, culminating in his Seven-Foot 2-4-0 express passenger locomotives, built between 1859 and 1868. [4] Beattie was also responsible for the long-lived 0298 Class of 2-4-0 well tanks , designed for suburban passenger work in 1874, some examples of which were still working in 1961.
Locomotives classified 2-4-0 under the Whyte notation of locomotive axle arrangements. The equivalent UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements is 1B or 1'B.
0-4-0+0-4-0 Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement , 2-4-0+0-4-2 is an articulated locomotive , usually of the Garratt type. The wheel arrangement is effectively two 2-4-0 locomotives operating back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between the two power units.
The Midland Railway Class 2 4-4-0 was a series of 12 classes of 4-4-0 steam locomotives built by and for the Midland Railway between 1876 and 1901 while Samuel W. Johnson held the post of locomotive superintendent. They were designed for use on express passenger trains but later on were downgraded to secondary work when more powerful types were ...
Swiss classification: 2/3+2/3 For a Mallet locomotive the UIC classification is refined to (1'B)B1' A similar wheel arrangement has been used for Garratt locomotives , but it is referred to as 2-4-0+0-4-2 since both engine units can pivot.
