The plan for WWII was Europe first, then the invasion of Japan. A massive redeployment of troops and materials from the east to the west coast would have been needed had the A-bomb not ended the war. Challangers were good dual-purpose engines and it's possible one reason for their choice was troop trains. Besides D&RGW, WP and UP got wartime Challengers. UP & SP and I'm sure some others also got wartime Northerns.
