T.R.R.A. All Time RosterAll-Time Diesel Roster This is the most complete roster I could find, it is however lacking some information due to the fact that the T.R.R.A. now rosters a sizable fleet of second hand six-axle power. This includes: TRRA #1751 .......... EMD SD7R TRRA #2204 .......... EMD GP38 TRRA #2205 .......... 4-axle road slug TRRA #2206 .......... 6-axle road slug TRRA #3001 .......... EMD SD40T-2 TRRA #3002 .......... EMD SD40-3 (SD45 carbody) TRRA #3003 .......... EMD SD40R TRRA #3004 .......... EMD SD40-3 (SD45 carbody) TRRA #3005 .......... EMD SD40T-2 NOTE: Most of the 2nd Gen. six-axle units are of Southern Pacific heritage, while the SD7 (rebuilt by MRS Shops with a low short hood) is a former Pennsylvania RR locomotive.
