Per SP Diesel Loco Compendium Vol 1 by Joe Strapac:

TR6 #4600/4700 re#1100/1150 orig EMD #1600/1600B
TR6 #4601-4603/4701-4703 re# 1101-1103/1151-1153
SW8 #12-16 (TN&O) re#1104-1108
SW8 #4604-4611 re#1109-1116
SW8 #4612-4621 re#1117-1126 (horizontal headlights)
SW8 #4622-4623 re#1127-1128

Grouped by order - note the TN&O units (no dynamics) ended up between the TR6 and SW8s with dynamics causing the numbers to shift.

The SD&AE in San Diego was also a regular haunt for these. After most of the light rail branches were upgraded to 75# rail or abandoned, the GE 70 tons were replaced by the SW8s. IIRC - 6 SW8s were sold to Kyle when he took over the SD&AE, and a couple were scrapped in San Diego/San Ysidro with the rest going to Kansas when Kyle left.
