2-10-4

Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a 2-10-4 represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels, ten powered and coupled driving wheels, and four trailing wheels. Typically using a Bissel truck in front, these were referred to as the Texas type in most of the United States, the Colorado type on the Burlington Route, and the Selkirk type in Canada.
