0-2-2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An 0-2-2, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one that has two coupled driving wheels followed by two trailing wheels, with no leading wheels .
The equivalent UIC classification is A1.
The 0-2-2 arrangement was used in the early days of the steam locomotive, and little thereafter. A famous 0-2-2 is Stephenson's Rocket. Its fellow competitor in the Rainhill Trials, John Ericsson and John Braithwaite's Novelty, was also an 0-2-2. Eight subsequent Stephenson locomotives for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway were of the 0-2-2 type; these were Meteor, Comet, Dart, Arrow, Phoenix, North Star, Northumbrian, and Majestic, following which Stephenson locomotives switched to the 2-2-0 Planet type. The pioneering American locomotive Tom Thumb was also of 0-2-2 configuration.
