Swiss classification: 3/5+3/5. The UIC classification is refined to (2'C)C2' for simple articulated locomotives. Challengers were most common in the Union Pacific Railroad, but many other railroads ordered them as well. An expansion for the Union Pacific Challenger class was the Union Pacific Big Boy class, being a 4-8-8-4, instead of a 4-6-6-4.
In December 1962, locomotive No. 50 received a boiler from one of the ex-NCC 2-6-0 tender locomotives, the boiler and firebox being overhauled and repaired at Derby. In early 1966 and towards the end of their careers, the Class WT locomotives were involved in working notable traffic.
Twenty-nine 4-6-2+2-6-4 Garratts, constructed between 1936 and 1941 by Société Franco-Belge in Northern France, operated until the Algerian independence war caused their withdrawal in 1951. This class, designated 231-132BT, was streamlined and featured Cossart motion gear, mechanical stokers and 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) driving wheels, the largest ...
The Lionel Corporation used the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement in many of its model steam locomotives, including the 2037 used in the infamous pastel-coloured Girls' Train. [9] Their 2-6-4 model was based on the Pennsylvania Railroad’s K4 class pacific , even though this was a 4-6-2 rather than a 2-6-4.
Swiss classification: 4/5+4/4+4/6. The equivalent UIC classification is to be refined to (1'D)D(D2') for these engines. Only one 2-8-8-8-4 was ever built, a Mallet-type for the Virginian Railway in 1916. [1] Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, it became the only example of their class XA, so named due to the experimental nature of the locomotive.

Launch of the Titan IIIA rocket with satellite Lincoln Experimental Satellite 1. The series had satellites named LES-1 through LES-9. They suffered a number of launch problems - LES-1 and LES-2 were supposed to be delivered to the same 2,800 x 15,000 km orbit, [3] though a failure of a boost stage left LES-1 in a 2,800 km circular orbit.
