Miners struck gold in Alaska in 1898, and in the years that followed, business boomed. Newly arrived miners pushed inland to find their own fortunes, but the land was unsuitable for roads, so the solution became a hardy but light-weight railroad line. Of those created for the Alaskan tundra, eight flat cars were ordered and made in Corry, along with four locomotives — including the Climax A-313 and A-315 — which were delivered in 1902. As gold dwindled, mining towns died, and the A-313 was abandoned from about 1910-1969.
