Other 0-8-8-0
Not trying to be exhaustive here are some examples of other 0-8-8-0
The type was sometimes called Angus in North America.
The lack of leading and trailing wheels to help the tracking and stability of
the locomotive means that the 0-8-8-0 type is not suited to high speeds. The
vast majority have seen use as very heavy switchers (generally for hump yard
work), transfer locomotives for hauling cuts of cars between rail yards, or
pushers for assistance on hills. Most locomotives
of this arrangement were built and served in North America.
