Editing 0-10-2

{{Short description|Locomotive wheel arrangement}}
Under the [[Whyte notation]] for the classification of [[steam locomotive]]s, '''0-10-2''' represents the [[wheel arrangement]] of no [[leading wheel]]s, ten powered and coupled [[driving wheel]]s on five axles, and two [[trailing wheel]]s on one axle (usually in a [[trailing truck]]).

Other equivalent classifications are:<br />
[[UIC classification]]: '''E1''' (also known as German classification and [[Italian classification]])<br />
[[French classification]]: '''051'''<br />
[[Turkish classification]]: '''56'''<br />
[[Swiss classification]]: '''5/6'''

== United States ==
In the US, this type is known as the '''Union''' after the only US [[railroad]] to have new locomotives built in this arrangement. These were ten [[Union Railroad 0-10-2|0-10-2s built for the]] [[Union Railroad (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)|Union Railroad]] in the [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]] area.  They were used as heavy duty transfer locomotives rather than switchers. In [[Greenville, Pennsylvania]], one is on static display lettered for the [[Duluth Missabe and Iron Range Railway]] #604 (Upon dieselization, the Union RR sold all of theirs to the DM&IR) .

The [[Chicago & North Western Railway]] converted two [[2-10-2]] locomotives formerly owned by subsidiary [[Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha]] into 0-10-2 locomotives in 1944.<ref>{{cite web

They were classified J-1 both before and after conversion.  One was scrapped in 1950 and the other in 1953.

== Europe ==

In [[Germany]], a number of [[narrow gauge railway|narrow gauge]] [[tank locomotives]] were built with an 0-10-2 configuration.  All used some form of articulated drive that allowed the outer driving axles to move sideways or radially to negotiate curves.  An example was a group of locomotives built for the narrow gauge lines of [[Bosnia (region)|Bosnia]] that utilised the [[Adolf Klose|Klose System]] for an articulated drive.
