1100
SP TR6A 1100 rests in Los Nietos, CA on St. Patrick's Day 1972. The luck of the Irish is with this little guy, as it was sold to the Quincy RR sometime after 1981 and then was aqquired by the Feather River Rail Society in Portola in 2004 where it now resides. 1100 was originally EMD demo #1600A along with 1600B, the TR6B. SP bought the pair and numbered them 4600/4700. They were used on the NWP for the early part of their careers, along with three other TR6 sets. The calves were separated from the cows around 1955 or so, and the TR6A's were basically treated like any other SW8, a 900hp switcher. Renumbered in the 1966 renumbering plan, the 1100 and 1102 would become the last of the TR6A's and the 1100 would outlast the other until it's sale.
