Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, ' represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, usually in a leading truck, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on four axles and two trailing wheels on one axle, usually in a trailing truck. This configuration of steam locomotive is most often referred to as a Mikado, frequently shortened to Mike.
It was also at times referred to on some railroads in the United States as the McAdoo Mikado and, during World War II, the MacArthur.
