PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-8-0
represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle,
usually in a leading truck, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on
four axles, and no trailing wheels. This design allowed for more tractive
effort with two additional driving axles and a larger boiler.
From its introduction in 1866, the 2-8-0 design was considered to be
the ultimate heavy-freight locomotive. The 2-8-0’s forte was starting and
moving “impressive loads at unimpressive speeds” and its versatility gave
the 2-8-0 its longevity. In 1915, it was realized that no further development
was possible with a locomotive of this wheel arrangement.
