Under the [[Whyte notation]] for the classification of [[steam locomotive]]s, '''{{nowrap|2-6-0}}''' represents the [[wheel arrangement]] of two [[leading wheel]]s on one axle, usually in a [[leading truck]], six powered and coupled [[driving wheel]]s on three axles and no [[trailing wheel]]s. This arrangement is commonly called a '''Mogul'''.<ref>White, John H. Jr. (1968). ''A history of the American locomotive; its development: 1830–1880.''
