According to good sources including Strapac's fantastic SP Compendium series, S6 SP 1234 was built by ALCo in Aug. 1956 as SP 1067, SP Class DS-11, construction number 81808, order number S-3262. It became SP 1234, SP Class AS409-3 in the 1965 renumbering. It was retired in Jan. 1976 and became Louisiana Dock 1234, then American Commercial Terminals 1234. Disposition unknown after that.
