By 1840 the 2-2-0 tender type had largely been superseded by the 2-2-2 configuration. However, there are a few examples of later tank engines , thus William Bridges Adams of the Fairfield Locomotive Works ( 51°31′52″N 0°01′19″W / 51.5312°N 0.0219°W / 51.5312; -0.0219 ) in Bow supplied a 2-2-0 well tank to the Roman ...

The London and Greenwich Railway began a public service on the 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 miles (4.0 km) section between Spa Road and Deptford in February 1836. [25] Locomotives in use at this point were two Planet type of the 2-2-0 configuration. Royal William was supplied by William Marshall & Sons.
The PC class was a type of standard gauge passenger steam locomotive on Iraqi State Railways. In 1940 the ISR completed the Baghdad Railway between Baghdad and Tel Kotchek on the border with Syria , enabling the Taurus Express to start running between Istanbul and Baghdad. [ 1 ]
The Patentee locomotive was a revolutionary 2-2-2 steam locomotive type introduced by Robert Stephenson and Company in 1833, as an enlargement of their 2-2-0 Planet type. The wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, two powered driving wheels on one axle, and two trailing wheels on one axle provided more stability and enabled a larger firebox than the earlier 0-2-2 and 2-2-0 types.
The type was used with more success on French railways with a 4-cylinder compound locomotive designed by Alfred de Glehn, of the Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques (SACM) in 188. One later example was of the 4-2-2-0 configuration but it was eventually rebuilt as a 4-4-0 instead. [6]
Railmotor with 0-2-2 locomotive unit c.1905. In the early 20th Century a number of railmotors were built by various railway companies in the UK where the locomotive section had an 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, but they were designed to operate semi-permanently coupled to a coach unit. The LSWR C14 class used a similar layout, but reversed as a 2-2-0 T.
The design was not successful and the locomotives were withdrawn by 1867. It would later be used on the Royal Bavarian State Railways ML 2/2 class of 1906, which were much more numerous and successful. The Mount Washington Cog Railway has eight 0-2-2-0's and only two are in working order, with three in storage and the remainder on display.
