I assume you have roster data about loco numbers. What do you show for #4606? What were the numbers for SW8s? Lower-numbered 4600s were typical road power for the Berdoo (1955-0n), usually as a pair of switchers, with the solid orange, silver and black scheme. There was a locally assigned tiger-striped SW1, #1011, (replacing the 44-tonner) that was the power for the Arrowhead and other locals. Otherwise the usual power from State St. would be two locos with numbering in the low 4600s (TR6?) and no extra lights at all. I have found pics here and there ID'ing the 4600s as either TR6 or SW900. I don't take all caption data as gospel. I never saw a cow-calf unit in my experiences with the Berdoo. And thanks for the info.
