Climax A-313 Question

My first attempt at an update / correction. Editing the database here is a bit of a bear, to say the least. Fortunately, I've now figured it out.
Question, the "Surviving Climax" list on this site, 20+ years old, lists the following:
[S/N 399?] Wild Goose Railroad
Christenson Estate, Eagle River , AK

That has to be 313, correct?

#399 is also listed as being from the *Wild Goose Railroad No. 399, Nome, AK
I'm guessing it's just a matter of the wrong shop number.

There aren't two of them left, are there?

Pretty sure one of our members will know the answer to this one...
 
Yes, the #313 was the last Climax engine in Alaska, specifically in Nome, prior to its' shipment to Eagle River to the Christenson Homestead.
The #399 and the #212 were also part of the Wild Goose RR.

Ironically the #313 is incorrectly listed as #315 in the Production Records but we have the side board with the number #313 painted on it
at the Corry Rails Climax restoration building so we know there were a few incorrect shop/ loco numbers.

Thank you for asking the question.
