This three-foot gauge 4-6-0 was built by Baldwin in 1920 for the United States Government, for use on the former Tanana Valley Railroad.  This was bought by the Alaskan Engineering Commission and used in the construction of the standard gauge Alaska RR.  It then operated until 1930 as the ARR's Chatanika Branch.

ARR 152 was held for sale after the Chatanika branch was shut down.  Eventually it was transferred to the U. S. Army for use on the White  Pass & Yukon but I have never been able to determine if it actually operated there.

After WWII ended the 152 was shipped to the Auburn, WA military facility for disposition. At some time it wound up purchased by Hal Wilmunder for use on his Camino, Cable & Northern tourist line over the right of way of the Michigan-California Lumber Co. I don't believe it was ever operated there as the only photos I have seen of it there show it with no cab or deck.

Sometime in the mid to late sixties I believe the 152 was sold to the Huckleberry Railroad and returned to operation. In the early nineties it under went "a complete and thorough overhaul."

Today, as Hucleberry Railroad's no. 2, the little ten-wheeler hauls tourists on the Huckleberry Railroad in Flint, Michigan.
