The Milwaukee Road purchased 25 compound 2-6-6-2 engines of Class N-1 in 1910-11 from Alco, and sixteen more, Class N-2, in 1916. Initially eight were oil fueled, and some additional engines were converted to burn oil when they were displaced from the steepest mainline grades by electrification.
The 2-6-6-2s could handle more tonnage than the double-headed pair of 2-8-0s they replaced, and they burned less coal in the process. The 2-6-6-2s proved to be ideal mine run engines as their power and flexibility plus low weight on drivers made them ideal for the curving and heavily graded branches in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia.
The 2-6-6-6 (in Whyte notation) is an articulated locomotive type with two leading wheels, two sets of six driving wheels and six trailing wheels. Only two classes of the 2-6-6-6 type were built. One was the "Allegheny" class , built by the Lima Locomotive Works .
The first examples of the type were two 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) 2-6-2+2-6-2 L class Garratts built for the Tasmanian Government Railways in 1912. This wheel arrangement also included the final Garratts to be built by BP, seven 2 ft ( 610 mm ) South African Class NG G16 locomotives in 1958.
Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate (abbreviated BTMPS) is a hindered amine light stabilizer used to protect plastics and coatings such as paint from oxidation caused by weathering. like most compounds of this class, it's active form is an aminoxyl radical.
Locomotives classified 2-6-2 under the Whyte notation of locomotive axle arrangements. The equivalent UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements is 1C1 or 1'C1' . Subcategories
