Southern Pacific class AC-6
Southern Pacific Railroad's AC-6 class of steam locomotives was the third of the railroad's classes built with a 4-8-8-2 wheel arrangement. Like the earlier AC-4 and AC-5 classes, the AC-6 class were cab forward locomotives. The AC-6 was slightly larger than the previous classes with a higher boiler pressure and tractive effort rating.

In 1947 and 1948, this class was rebuilt with cast steel frames, increasing the overall weight to 648,000 lb (with 523,600 lb on the drivers). At this time, most of the locomotives in the class were also equipped with larger cab windows that became standard for SP's cab forward locomotives beginning with the AC-8 class. One of those locomotives that had been turned from AC-6 to AC-8 was the number 4146.

This class was removed from active service between 1954 and 1955 and they were all scrapped by March 1956.

4-8-8-2
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a 4-8-8-2 is a locomotive with four leading wheels, two sets of eight driving wheels, and a two-wheel trailing truck.

Other equivalent classifications are:
UIC classification: 2DD1 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)
French classification: 240+041
Turkish classification: 46+45
Swiss classification: 4/6+4/5

The equivalent UIC classification is refined to (2'D)D1' for simple articulated locomotives.

A locomotive of that length must be an articulated locomotive; meaning all have a joint between the first and second groups of driving wheels.  All examples of this type are cab forwards.  Normally, the leading truck sits under the smokebox and the trailing truck under the firebox. On a cab-forward, the leading truck supports the firebox and the trailing truck and smokebox are at the rear next to the tender. A 4-8-8-2 is effectively a 2-8-8-4 that always runs in reverse.

Proschium or Proschion (Ancient Greek: Πρόσχιον) was a town of ancient Aetolia, between the Achelous and the Evenus. It is said to have been founded by the Aeolians when they were removed from the Homeric Pylene higher up into the country.

It is clear, from a narrative of Thucydides, that Proschium lay west of Calydon and Pleuron, and at no great distance from the Achelous.

Its site is tentatively located near the modern Proph. Ilias, Kato Retsina.
