caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Tender-Locomotive G 2/2+2/3 Nr. 23 Maloja der Rhätiſchen Bahn, gebaut 1896 inn der Schweizeriſchen Locomotiv- und Machines-Fabrique zů Winterthur (Fabr.-Nr. 958), 1926 an die Krafftwercke Oberhasli, 1940 abgebrochen. English: Swiss Mallet tank locomotive G 2/2+2/3 Nr. 23 Maloja of the RhB, built in 1896 by SLM Winterthur, selled to power stations Oberhasli in 1926, scrapped in 1940.
context_page_description: The Rhaetian Railway G 2/2+2/3, was a two-member class of metre gauge Mallet-type steam locomotives manufactured by SLM in Winterthur, Switzerland, in 1896, and operated until 1926 by the Rhaetian Railway, in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland.
  The two members of the class were so named under the Swiss locomotive and railcar classification system. According to that system, G 2/2+2/3 denotes a two-bogie narrow gauge steam locomotive, with the front bogie having two drive axles, but the rear bogie being fitted with three axles, only two of them drive axles.
  The G 2/2+2/3 class locomotives differed from their two G 2x2/2 class predecessors, which had been delivered in 1891, in having the additional, non-drive, axle in the rear bogie, thus providing an extra set of wheels, under the driver's cab.
  In 1903, in a follow up order of a further eight Mallet-type locomotives, this second chassis configuration was altered again, by reversing the order of the bogies and their wheel arrangement. The configuration of the 1903 locomotives therefore became G 2/3+2/2, with the single set of trailing wheels right at the front of the locomotive.
