Triplex (locomotive) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Triplex (locomotive)
A Triplex locomotive is a steam locomotive that divides the driving force on its wheels by using three pairs of cylinders rigidly mounted to a single locomotive frame. Inevitably any such locomotive will be articulated. All the examples that have been produced have been of the Mallet type but with one extra set of driving wheels under the tender. ==Triplex classes== Baldwin Locomotive Works built three 2-8-8-8-2 locomotives for the Erie Railroad between 1914 and 1916.〔.〕 One 2-8-8-8-4 was also built, for the Virginian Railway in 1916. This was class XA, so named due to the experimental nature of the locomotive. There was also a proposal for a ''quadruplex'' super Garratt locomotive with a 2-6-6-2+2-6-6-2 wheel arrangement for South African Railways, but this was never built.〔Leslie Paxton and David Bourne, ''Locomotive of the South African Railways,'' Struik, 1985, pp.8-9.〕
