White Pass & Yukon Route 2-8-2 No. 190

Posted by: Jonah Snyder on Jan 30, 2019 @ 10:01:55
There is a common misconception regarding the Queen and her sisters that says that they were initially built to meter-gauge and destined for Iran, And instead being sent for Alaska and being converted to 3 ft. Gauge. THIS IS NOT TRUE. 190 and her sisters were always destined for Alaska. This is further disproved by the fact that Iran has no narrow gauge rails, only Standard Gauge.
