Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 4-8-2 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels, eight powered and coupled driving wheels and two trailing wheels. This type of steam locomotive is commonly known as the Mountain type, [1] though the New York Central Railroad used the name Mohawk for their 4-8-2s.
The New York Central became the largest 4-8-2 user in North America, with 600 locomotives of this type built for its service; only the Pennsylvania Railroad came close, with 301 M1's of the type. The Mohawk type was the pre-eminent freight power of the network, displacing the 2-8-2 type from first-line service.
