Its Train 140 1-02-12.mpg

[crossinggate84]

I've never seen anything like the 3rd unit on the train. Why put a cab in I guess if all it is going is help the other locos. Cool

[pwalpar]

Thanks, it is called a slug. Since the locomotives can make far more electricity than needed to operate its traction motors, a slug which is just extra traction motors is used to get more power.

Nice catch with the ex Conrail SD60I slug and track panel car. BTW this is the longest 140 I've seen.

[walkerbelle]

No sense in sticking it out at the risk of catch pneumonia my friend. We don't want to see our #1 railfan get sick just to bring us a few train videos! That NS slug loco was a cool find amigo!!! A very cool video indeed Walter. Thanks buddy.

[JKelcy]

Great video Walter. Nice Lesile RS3L horn on this ex-Conrail unit, cool catch on that slug unit too

[ATSF1927]

I remember ATSF using cabless units on mainlines, but slugs they were used with Switchers. using slugs on mainline is a new one for me. excellent catch Walter :-)

[Lea71777]

Walter I ment to say slug, Its just been one of those days today.

And get some Long-Johns

[Engine201]

Great leader on that train and nice catch with the road slug!

[gonetoworkbbackin5mi]

Would that be a road slug or a switching slug or both?

[henrycems]
