Kruskal's algorithm[ 1] finds a minimum spanning forest of an undirected edge-weighted graph. If the graph is connected, it finds a minimum spanning tree. It is a greedy algorithm that in each step adds to the forest the lowest-weight edge that will not form a cycle. [ 2] The key steps of the algorithm are sorting and the use of a disjoint-set ...
Preserved. Three: 3651, 3716, 3512. Disposition. Three preserved, remainder scrapped.

2-8-8-8-8-2. Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a 2-8-8-8-8-2 has two leading wheels, four sets of eight driving wheels, and two trailing wheels. Because of its length, such a locomotive must be an multiplex locomotive. It is longer than a normal articulated locomotive; the fourth set of drivers is located ...
The Erie Matt H. Shay 2-8-8-8-2. The only 2-8-8-8-4 triplex locomotive ever built. A triplex locomotive was a steam locomotive that divided the driving force on its wheels by using three pairs of cylinders to drive three sets of driving wheels. Any such locomotive will inevitably be articulated. All triplex locomotives built were of the Mallet ...
