Mogul

nounShop talkRailroad

A historic steam locomotive with a 2-6-0 wheel arrangement.

A class of steam locomotive featuring one unpowered leading axle and three powered driving axles, with no trailing truck. Designed in the early steam era, it offered better traction than older models by placing more of the engine's weight directly over the driving wheels. It became a popular choice for hauling medium-weight freight trains.
