0-10-2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An 0-10-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is a locomotive with no leading wheels at all, ten driving wheels, and a two-wheel trailing truck.

Other equivalent classifications are:
UIC classification: E1 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)
French classification: 051
Turkish classification: 56
Swiss classification: 5/6

[edit] United States

In the US, this type is known as the Union after the first and only US railroad to purchase locomotives of this arrangement, the ten Union Railroad 0-10-2 locomotives built for the Union Railroad in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. They were used as heavy duty transfer locomotives rather than switchers.

[edit] Europe

In Germany, a number of narrow gauge tank locomotives were built with an 0-10-2 configuration. All used some form of articulated drive that allowed the outer driving axles to move sideways or radially to negotiate curves. An example was a group of locomotives built for the narrow gauge lines of Bosnia that utilised the Klose System for an articulated drive.
