Following detail is from "Steam in the Rcckies" published by the Colorado RR Museum in 1963:
"Numbers 470-472, 474-475, 477, and 479 were requisitioned by the US Army in October 1942 for use on the WP&Y. Following this use, all except #472 were returned to Auburn, Washington, General Army Depot and stored until offered for sale by the War Assets Administration on December 7, 1945. They were purchased by M. Bloch of Seattle, who scrapped them early in 1946. #472 was damaged and shipped from Skagway on March 24, 1944 to the Northern Pacific Shops at Tacoma, Washington, then reshipped to Ogden, Utah Supply Dept. Also offered on WAA sale of December 7, 1945 and scrapped at Ogden in June of 1946, the boiler going to the Publo Ordinace Depot."
