The three widenose units that went to US Gypsum never were delivered to WP&Y--they went directly to USG from Montreal. The fourth one (114) was finally picked up by WP&Y sometime later, after their fortunes improved.
Of the original DL535s (101-110), 101, 103-104, 106-107 were sold to South America during WP&Y's dark times, only to be repurchased after the cruise ship boom. Of course, this excludes the 102 and 105 which were destroyed when the Skagway roundhouse burned down in 1969. As far as I know, 108-110 never left the property.
