The 4-6-0 wheel arrangement was a natural progression from the 4-4-0
(American type) when railroads desired a locomotive with more power.
The first example was built in 1847 by the Norris Brothers for the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. The early 4-6-0s were quite similar
to the 4-4-0s of the time except they were a bit larger. The ten-wheeler
was doomed when Atlantic (4-4-2) types got the nod for further mainline
passenger power and when Consolidations (2-8-0) began head-ending tonnage
trains. The 4-6-0 became practically a dead item for more than a generation.
