"In the two World Wars Porter received a modest share of special orders for steam power.

 Important World War I production included 11 0-6-0's and 41 2-8-0's for Czarist Russia, nine 0-4-0's and three 0-6-0's for Italy (including three fireless engines), seven 0-4-0T's

and five 0-6-0's for the U. S. Navy, and 51 0-6-0's for the Army.

Forty of the U. S. Army engines were 36-inch-gauge for forestry service in France;

the other 11 were used as stateside switchers.

The largest order of all was fulfilled during and after the war: 165 0-4-0T's for Italy."
