I read that due to iron mine winter closures, the DM&IR sent its articulateds off-site for winter work. They went to mountain roads (D&RGW?) because mountain trains had to be shorter in winter due to stiffer bearing grease in cold weather.

For the most part, the exchanges were of medium-sized locomotives -- no railroad wanted to give up its newest power -- but some articulated designs and 4-8-2s migrated to power-hungry roads the WPB designated as priority routes.
