The Ann Arbor Railroad used 3 Wabash engines which were Mikato style steam engines which were built by the Brooks Locomotive Works in about 1922. These were numbered 2204 (200 lbs boiler pressure), 2218 (200 lbs) and 2257 (210 lbs).

The Ann Arbor Railroad had 8 Mikato Engines: Numbers 2480, 2481, 2482, 2490, 2491, 2492, 2493 and 2494. These Ann Arbor marked engines ran on 200 lbs of boiler pressure.

A man from Japan designed this engine and had several made which were shipped to Japan and the Wabash Railroad also ordered several.
