2-2-2




Under the Whyte Notation for the classification of Steam Locomotives , a 2-2-2 Locomotive has two Leading Wheel s, two Driving Wheel s and two Trailing Wheel s. This type was named '''Jenny Lind''', after '' Jenny Lind '', a popular early 2-2-2 design, and sometimes ''' Single ''', although that name more commonly means any kind of locomotive with a single pair of driving wheels.

The equivalent UIC Classification is 1A1.

In the UK some 2-2-2s were made by James Holden as a result of His Experiments removing the Side Rod from a 2-4-0 .
