The Alaska Railroad purchased ARR 551 through 557 new through USATC and all six were modified by Baldwin with bell, knuckle couplers, electrical system, pilot, air powered firebox opener, and power reverse for use in Alaska. The ARR later received another six as war surplus. 557 was the last new steam locomotive acquired by the ARR and was delivered on November 2, 1944. For some reason payment wasn't made until November 2 1945 and the records say the payment was made by the ARR to the Fort Richardson army installation near Anchorage.
In addition to the USATC Consolidations that operated on Ft. Eustis, according to an April 3, 2015 post by elueck and information on John's ARR page, the three USATC Consolidations from Camp Claiborne were USATC 1600, 3409, and 3410. These were later acquired by the ARR and were numbered 562, 561, and 560, respectively. 3410/560 went to Spain in 1958 as part of a sale of 14 steam locomotives of four types, 51,000 pounds of parts, and 180 pounds of blueprints being disposed of after the railroad had converted to diesels. After that group left, 557 was the only remaining steam locomotive. 562 was scrapped by the ARR and the cylinder block sat in a scrap yard for many years. I have a photo somewhere that I took about 20-25 years ago of the cylinder block in a gondola full of scrap waiting to head south.
1702 may be the only USATC Consolidation that made its way to a non-government railroad in the U.S. (The ARR was Federally owned when the locomotives were acquired.) Its low USATC number suggests that it operated somewhere for the military and was obtained as war surplus, but I don't think I have ever seen anything saying where it operated. The Broadbelt collection has a number of photos of 1702 at the Baldwin plant and I have a copy of a November 5, 1942 newspaper photo of 1702 ("Iron dough Boy in Battle Dress") with one of the BLW photos which apparently came from a press release. It shows Major J.W. Marsh, who is credited with the locomotive design, and a couple of other Army officers.
(5/28/15 Reread the ARR letter and edited above to correct that payment was made to Ft. Richardson, not by Ft. Richardson.)
