2-8-6
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Whyte notation for describing steam locomotive wheel arrangement, a 2-8-6 is a locomotive with a two-wheel leading truck, eight driving wheels, and a six-wheel trailing truck. All 2-8-6 locomotives constructed have been 2-8-6T tank locomotives of the Mason Bogie pattern. In the UIC classification, a rigid-framed locomotive of this arrangement would be 1'D3', and the Mason bogie (1'D)'3'.
Three Mason Bogies of this type were built for the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad; #25 Alpine, #26 Rico, #27 Roaring Fork and #28 Denver. They were narrow gauge locomotives of 3 ft (914 mm) gauge. Some were later sold to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.
