Alaska Railroad #313 was built by Lima in March 1944 to become U.S. Army No. 4072. Her service as 313 ended in retirement in April 1954 with no indication of final dispostion. This photo with background washed out, was probably taken in Whittier where she was assigned as a yard switcher. While only a small 2" X 4" print , it packs the most detail of any of our roster shots of this class. Photographer unknown, Jerry W. Ware collection.

Jerry W. Ware retired from the Alaska Railroad and is well known as the ARR track welder who's office was known as the Doll Shop. His father, Wayne Ware was an Alaska Railroad engineer who had a modest collection of small 2"X 4" black and white photos. Jerry has offered these for inclusion in the roster section with credit to the Jerry W. Ware Collection. While these prints are small they are first generation and all provide excellent new views and details when enlarged on your computer screen.
