Conrail decided to construct a fleet of slugs using worn-out Alco RS-11, RSD12, and RSD-15 units in 1978 and 1979. Conrail removed the diesel engine, generator, and cab from the original units. The underframe, trucks, traction motors, and blowers remained. The hoods were chopped down and patched up. Those slugs that came from six-axle Alcos became classed as MT-6's (Motor Trailer 6-axle.) Conrail began rebuilding their MT-6 slugs around 1988. The original 3-axle Alco trucks were replaced with EMD trucks from retired SD-7's and SD-9's. CR 1100-1124 were rebuilt from RSD12's, CR 1125-1128 were rebuilt from RSD-15's, and CR 6899 was rebuilt from an RSD-5. For a brief time, CR 1100 was originally numbered CR 6820. The roster below covers those units operated by Conrail from the arrivial of the first unit until May 1999.
