Swiss classification: '4/6+4/6' The equivalent UIC classification is refined to (2′D)D2′ for simple articulated locomotives. A similar wheel arrangement exists for Garratt locomotives, but is referred to as 4-8-0+0-8-4 since both engine units swivel. 4-8-8-4 Big Boys were only produced for the Union Pacific Railroad. Twenty-five such ...
Union Pacific 844, the only steam locomotive never retired by a North American Class I railroad. The 4-8-4 wheel arrangement was a progression from the 4-8-2 Mountain type and, like the 2-8-4 Berkshire and 4-6-4 Hudson types, an example of the "Super Power" concept in steam locomotive design that made use of the larger firebox that could be supported by a four-wheel trailing truck, which ...
There were only two classes of 4-8-4+4-8-4 steam locomotives worldwide, all of which were constructed by Beyer, Peacock & Company, the owners of the Garratt patent. [1]The predecessor 4-8-2+2-8-4 Double Mountain was likely the optimal Garratt wheel arrangement, with the four-wheeled leading bogies and the two-wheeled trailing trucks on each engine unit ensuring stability at speed and with ...
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a 2-8-8-8-8-2 has two leading wheels, four sets of eight driving wheels, and two trailing wheels. Because of its length, such a locomotive must be an multiplex locomotive. It is longer than a normal articulated locomotive; the fourth set of drivers is located under the tender.
All the 4-8-0+0-8-4 Garratts were built by Beyer, Peacock & Company for the 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) gauge Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. The first 16 were designated Class N and were delivered in 1929, while 10 more arrived in 1931 and were designated class NM. The locomotives had Belpaire fireboxes and piston valves. [1]
The nickname Mastodon is often mistakenly used to describe the 4-8-0 wheel arrangement and was derived from the unofficial name of the first 4-8-0 locomotive of the Central Pacific Railroad in the United States, the wood-fired CPR no. 229, which was designed and built in 1882 by the railroad's master mechanic, Andrew Jackson (A.J.) Stevens, at ...
Locomotives classified 4-8-0 under the Whyte notation of locomotive axle arrangements. The equivalent UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements is 2D or 2'D.
