Keith B General Drone was the ATSF term for a Yard Slug. Traction. I think slave may be another term. In effect 6 more axles powered from the "Mother" unit. 10/22/2004 8:21:47 AM
Marty Bernard General This road (not hump) slug is either 145 or 146. They are the only two to become kodachromes and were cut down SP units. 11/9/2006 12:13:53 AM
