#40 was leased to the White Pass & Yukon Route for 2 years of a 5 year lease, and returned to Colorado because of management changes at the WP&YR. The locomotive made a stop at the Colorado Railroad Museum from 12-2001 through 4-2002, where it was operated on two occations, and then returned to the Georgetown Loop Railroad.

Operated 3 consecutive seasons at the Georgetown Loop, 2002-2004. Running gear rebuilt during winter of 2003-2004 offseason. Extensive boiler work done prior to going to WP&YR (completed 1999-2000).

Was a workhorse during the final season of the GLRR Inc.'s operations, last run on Loop line for #40 was October 4, 2004. Locomotive now stored at Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, CO along with all other operational Georgetown Loop Railroad Inc. equipment pending the location of another operation to operate on. May be operated on museum's steam-up days this year (posted 2-20-05).

Was leased to the White Pass & Yukon Route in 2000 for their 100 year anniversary. The lease agreement was for 5 years. But was returned to Colorado in 2002 because it was reportably to heavy to run on the White Pass Route.
