Under theWhyte notation for the classification ofsteam locomotives,4-10-0 represents thewheel arrangement of fourleading wheels, ten powered and coupleddriving wheels, and notrailing wheels.Central Pacific Railroad'sEl Gobernador, built in 1883, was the only locomotive with this wheel arrangement to operate in the United States. The name "Mastodon" has also been applied to this type,[1][2] though this nickname has also been mistakenly used for the4-8-0 arrangement (Mastodon was the unofficial nickname of the Central Pacific's No. 229, the first 4-8-0 ever built), leading to some confusion. Sources refer to the 4-8-0 as the Twelve-wheeler.[1][2] Later, these locomotives were named "Super Mastodon's."
The Bulgarian State Railways operated a group of 3-cylinder 4-10-0s, their class 11.
