*T. D. Judah*, a locomotive rebuilt as a 4-2-2 by Central Pacific Railroad.

Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 4-2-2 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, two powered driving wheels on one axle, and two trailing wheels on one axle.

Other equivalent classifications are:
UIC classification: 2A1 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)
French classification: 211
Turkish classification: 14
Swiss classification: 1/4

Like other steam locomotive types with single pairs of driving wheels, they were also known as singles.

Examples from the UK

The Iron Duke class of Great Western Railway, built by Daniel Gooch. This broad gauge express locomotives were first built in 1847 and had an 8 ft diameter driving wheel size.
The later examples of the GWR 3031 Class by William Dean, 1893-1899, built for standard gauge. No 3065 Duke of Connaught made a record-breaking run with the Ocean Mail express train on 9 May 1904, covering the distance from Plymouth to Paddington in 227 minutes.
The GNR Stirling 4-2-2 of the Great Northern Railway, which ran an average speed of more than 60 mph during the race to the north, built first in 1870. They were called eight-footer because of the big driving wheel, that was more than 8 ft. in diameter.
The Midland Railway's 115 class "Spinners". One, No. 673, survives at the National Railway Museum, York.
A further notable UK class 4-2-2 is the GER Class P43, which was an early oil-burning engine, developed by the pioneer of oil-boilers, James Holden

Examples from Germany
