Locomotives classified 4-4-2 under the Whyte notation of locomotive axle arrangements. The equivalent UIC classification of locomotive axle arrangements is 2B1 or 2'B1 . Subcategories
Swiss classification: 2/3+2/3 For a Mallet locomotive the UIC classification is refined to (1'B)B1' A similar wheel arrangement has been used for Garratt locomotives , but it is referred to as 2-4-0+0-4-2 since both engine units can pivot.
The Milwaukee Road Class "A" was a class of high-speed, streamlined 4-4-2 "Atlantic" type steam locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) from 1935 to 1937 to haul the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha express passenger trains. Numbered from No. 1 to No. 4, they were among the last Atlantic type locomotives built in the United States ...
The Milwaukee Road's A2 class comprised 47 compound steam locomotives of the 4-4-2 or 'Atlantic' configuration. The Milwaukee Road acquired them in five batches.. The first two batches of 9 and 19 locomotives (classes A2 and A2-a) were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, and were Vauclain compound locomotives with 84 inches (2.13 m) drivers.
There was a Belgian project for a hexaplex locomotive for the Russian market, based on the Franco-Crosti quadruplex locomotive built for the Belgian State Railways. It had the wheel arrangement 2-4-4-2+2-8-8-2+2-4-4-2 and made full use of the Russian loading gauge and broad gauge. The total weight of the 43-metre-long locomotive was to be 410 ...
A 4-4-2 inspection locomotive of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. The first use of the 4-4-2 wheel arrangement for a tender locomotive was under an experimental double-firebox locomotive, built to the design of George Strong at the Hinkley Locomotive Works in 1888. The locomotive was not successful and was scrapped soon afterwards.
Columbia River Belt Line 7, also known as Skookum, is a preserved 2-4-4-2 Mallet-type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1909. It was used to pull logging trains in the Pacific Northwest, until 1955, when the locomotive fell on its side, and it was abandoned.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, a 4-4-2+2-4-4 is a Garratt articulated locomotive.The wheel arrangement is effectively two 4-4-2 locomotives operating back to back, with each power unit having four leading wheels on two axles in a leading bogie, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles, and two trailing wheels on one axle ...
