There is a set of pilot/guiding wheels in front of the forward pair of driving wheels.  The pilot/guiding wheels guide the engine but the driving wheels move it forward.  It's the forward pair of driving wheels that are blind - all four pilot/guiding wheels are flanged.

In other words, the blind wheels are the first axle on the second set of "4" in 4-4-0.
