The 2-8-8-2 was a design largely limited to American locomotive builders. The last 2-8-8-2 was retired in 1962 from the N&W's roster, two years past the ending of steam though steam was still used on steel mill lines and other railroads until 1983. Other equivalent classifications are: UIC classification: (1′D)D1′ French classification: 140+041
Swiss classification: 4/5+4/4+4/6. The equivalent UIC classification is to be refined to (1'D)D(D2') for these engines. Only one 2-8-8-8-4 was ever built, a Mallet-type for the Virginian Railway in 1916. [1] Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, it became the only example of their class XA, so named due to the experimental nature of the locomotive.

Any such locomotive will inevitably be articulated.
Consuming more than 45% of daily calories after 5 p.m. can contribute to greater risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and chronic inflammation, a recent study suggests.
