  • If this was after 2004, I would say that CN did that on purpose.

  • a bcr crew hit a logging truck - she was rebuilt and then scrapped less then a year later

  • @robertgift yes. the slug gets its power from the mother loco. to take the strain off and to prevent overheating the traction motors.

  • @cc10266 shit, you're right!! nice catch

  • Is that a Federal Signal SD-10 siren I see behind 763?

  • @robertgift pretty much

  • Just use an existing locomotive frame rather than make a slug shorter?

  • @robertgift Most slugs were GP9's or RS-3's, RS-10's and RS-18's at one time. The slugs were no greater than a GP9. Even BNSF used a SD9 for a slug. SD9 is same HP as a GP9.

  • @Nathanrailfan Thank you.

    I'm surprised that slugs are not shorter and the weight stacked taller to make up for it.

  • @robertgift yes

  • 19 CRASH DUMMIES DID NOT LIKE THIS VIDEO

  • Is a slug just weights on traction motors?

    They get their electrical power from the locomotive?

    Thank you.
