Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, 2-6-6-0 is a locomotive with one pair of unpowered leading wheels, followed by two sets of three pairs of powered driving wheels and no trailing wheels.
The USRA standard designs of 1918 did not include a 2-6-0. Southern Pacific 2-6-0 No. 1744, 1982. WDWRR No. 2 Lilly Belle, built in 1928. Five notable 2-6-0 locomotives are still in operation in the United States. Southern Pacific No. 1744 has spent more time out of service than it did under its own power in the preservation era.
