Railfans call them "cab foward," while the SP railroad crews call them "cab ahead." the former is the term you'll see more often, but not the one they were called by the railroad during the type's operational lifetime.
Are there any difficulties in describing unconventional designs such as the asymmetrical Shay logging locomotives? ("It's all bolted together so we only have to power one side, right?" - Ephraim Shay, apparently)
It's rare to see the Whyte system used for such locomotives, but (for example) a three-axle Shay could be described as a 0-6-0G (no pilot wheels, 6 powered wheels, no trailing wheels, geared).
Darn it, you're right. One of the photos in our stack was mis-identified, and we didn't spot it while editing. Unfortunately, we can't easily go back and fix it, or we'd lose all of the history. Thanks for correcting us.

You are underrated as hell
Very nice video, LIKE.
Synonyms?
Kev: "Cab Ahead"
Caption: "Cab Forward"

Actually, the cab forward is a 4-8-8-2 type
Thank you, and we'd fix it if we could, but we'd have to re-upload the video which would wipe out its history.

@@RailwayLMS Only later did I remember the rail conversion outriggers for bicycles, which I suppose would be described as 2-1-0 units.
Nitpicky I know but you showed 4014 a big boy type instead of the challenger type

K37 is 2 8 2
and k37 numbers from 490 to 499
and the 491 and 492 are operational
And then there's the Garrett locomotives.
You put 4014 as a challenger instead of big boy

Cool
