{{Short description|Locomotive wheel arrangement}} {{Use mdy dates|date=June 2013}} [[Image:Reading 4-4-4.jpg|thumb|300px|Reading No. 110 in its official portrait]] Under the [[Whyte notation]] for the classification of [[steam locomotive]]s, '''4-4-4''' represents the [[wheel arrangement]] of four [[leading wheel]]s on two axles, four powered and coupled [[driving wheel]]s on two axles, and four [[trailing wheel]]s on two axles. In the United States, this arrangement was named the ''Reading'' type, since the [[Philadelphia and Reading Railroad]] was the first to use it. In [[Canada]], this type is known as the ''Jubilee''. Other equivalent classifications are: *[[UIC classification]]: '''2B2''' (also known as German classification and [[Italian classification]]) *[[French classification]]: '''222''' *[[Turkish classification]]: '''26''' *[[Swiss classification]]: '''2/6'''
