Back in the 1980's NS had a small number (2-3 sets IIRC) of six axle road slugs rebuilt from SD45s. These were "double ended" slugs which were operated sandwiched between a pair of "mother" SD40-2s. They were specifically built for coal drag service and were quite different from NS's small fleet of six motor hump yard slugs(the road slugs had dynamic brakes,for instance). UP was interested enough in this concept that they borrowed a set for trials in Powder River coal service,but nothing ever came of it. <br /> At that time NS had probably the largest fleet of road slugs, with many four motor units rebuilt from GP-9s as well as the six axle units.
