The design of the USA 190-200 "MacArthur" 2-8-2s was for a "flat land" operation and were out of place on the White Pass. The WP&YR reluctantly purchased most of these when they negotiated the end of lease settlement with the Army. This was because of the delivery time for the next two 70s (72 and 73).
