Axle count

[edit]

If this is a 1-C C-1 locomotive, why are there 10 axles in the picture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.196.180.245 (talk) 15:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What appears to be the outermost driving "axle" on each end is actually a large gear driven by the motors, see the larger picture . Wuhwuzdat (talk) 15:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Confused me too (9 yrs later). I've edited the text and used this image to show what's happening. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 17:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
