Mostly portrait and car photography. Occasional trains here and there.

Local store has T6I with 18-135 kit for $50 more than SL2 with 18-55.

Thoughts? Recommendations?

First, make sure the 18-135 is the STM version.  Since you don't seem to have a need for telephoto range regarding what you shoot, I would look into the SL2 with kit lens and add the EF 50mm STM for portraits.  It will give you much better control over depth of field and is just a great lens all around.  The new EF-S 18-55mm STM lens is excellent being very sharp and delivers very good IQ.  This way you get the added benefits of Canon's latest APS-C sensor and Digic processor.  You might find the better low ISO DR useful and high ISO noise performance over the T6i.
