I wonder if CSX has ever thought about contracting VMV in Paducah, Kentucky to finish building the last of the road slugs for it 2351-2399 series, seeing as they have geeps coming out of their ears.

Alot of railroads back in the 90's.

Are the 1st 2 locos a mother/slug set?

I see St. Lawrence & Atlantic road slugs all the time. They too have fuel-sharing capability, and the crews prefer them to lead. They were rebuilt from GP38's and GP40's.

Slugs like that one can be fitted with an extra fuel tank to provide more capacity for fuel. It can allow the train to keep moving and not have to stop as often for fuel. Most engineers like to operate slugs as the lead because it provides a more smooth and quiet ride. Some slugs have their cabs removed. They are filled with concrete and used primarily for more traction as well as more pulling power.

WOW look at unit #2670 in fresh YN2 paint. Seeing that paint scheme will be a rare thing in a few more years. Loved the video.

Why would they need helpers when the drag is on flatland?
