This reminds me of something interesting I noticed a while ago.
Years ago, Herb Dannemann (I think) managed to find a list of equipment retirement dates and depreciation values for TM equipment. I got a copy of it from Bob Bruneau at IRM years ago.  For an accountant or historian it was very interesting, as it listed work equipment, streetcars, trucks, everything you could think of...except for the 1100s.  

Outside of the retirement of the never-completed 1125 in 1938, it didn't list a retirement date of any kind for any of the 1100s.

Very curious.

Scott.

PS - another interesting entry involved the ten South Milwaukee cars when they were sold.  It included two spare traction motors, a large lot of the little foot collector fareboxes and some other things.  The total depreciation value was in the thousands..,and they sold it all to Speedrail for a comparative pittance.

Scott and list:   Sold to KMCL  Port Washington Line                                       

Cars;  1139, 1140, 1141, 1186-87, 1196-97, 1198-99, D-3 (former D-23),
M-1, 202, F250, F-251, F-252 + section cars 40,638 and 44,037 comprised
the Rolling Stock transfered.                                                        

Effective;  12:01 am October 15, 1945       

Note:  In both instances, those cars were re-lettered on letterboard
ends from TMER&T to KMCL Inc.                              

The cars that had been re-lettered to The Transport Company from
Milwaukee Electric Lines.,  were re-lettered back to Milwaukee Electric
Lines,, regardless of the ownership initials on letterboard ends. 

A sharp eye will find that the letterboard  elipse 'period' after the
word LINES, was mis-applied in a verttical position, rather than in the
horizontal position.
