French locomotive classification
Under the French classification system for locomotive wheel arrangements, the system is slightly different for steam and electric/diesel vehicles.
The French system counts axles, rather than wheels. As with Whyte notation, a conventional rigid locomotive will have three digits corresponding to its axle configuration:
The first digit is the number of leading unpowered axles; the second digit the number of powered axles; The third digit the number of trailing unpowered axles.
0-6-0 = 030
2-6-0 = 130
0-6-2 = 031
4-6-2 = 231
2-8-0 = 140
