In Whyte notation, a 4-6-6-2 is a steam locomotive with four leading wheels (two axles) in an unpowered bogie at the front of the locomotive followed by two sets of driving wheels with six wheels each (three axles each), followed by two unpowered trailing wheels (one axle) at the rear of the locomotive.

  • In Whyte notation, a 4-6-6-2 is a steam locomotive with four leading wheels (two axles) in an unpowered bogie at the front of the locomotive followed by two sets of driving wheels with six wheels each (three axles each), followed by two unpowered trailing wheels (one axle) at the rear of the locomotive. Other equivalent classifications are:UIC classification: 2CC1 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)French classification: 230+031Turkish classification: 35+34Swiss classification: 3/5+3/4 This wheel arrangement was used only as a very limited number of locomotives in North America, most notably as class MM-2 oil-fired cab forward locomotives on the Southern Pacific Railroad. These were effectively 2-6-6-4s running in reverse. They were originally built as 2-6-6-2s but were refitted with a four-wheel leading truck to increase stability at speed. Southern Pacific AM-2s were built from July to August 1911 by Baldwin Locomotive Works as Cab Forwards. These 4-6-6-2s began retirement in the mid- to late-1930s, although a few remained in operation until the end of World War II. No locomotives of this configuration were preserved. (en)
  • Selon la classification Whyte (classification américaine), les locomotives de type 4-6-6-2 comportent 2 essieux porteurs, 2 jeux de 3 essieux moteurs, et 1 essieu porteur. Voici sa classification selon d'autres systèmes : * classification UIC (aussi connue sous les noms de classification allemande ou classification italienne) : 2CC1 * classification française : 230+031 * classification turque : 35+34 * classification suisse : 3/5+3/4 Cette disposition d'essieux ne fut utilisée que sur un nombre très limité de locomotives en Amérique du Nord, particulièrement sur les locomotives de type "Cab Forward" de la série MM-2 du Southern Pacific Railroad. Ces locomotives étaient en fait des 2-6-6-4 roulant cabine en avant. Elles avaient été construites selon le type Whyte mais un deuxième essieu fut ajouté à l'avant pour améliorer la stabilité des locomotives en vitesse. (fr)
