Most of the slugs that I have seen lately are road slugs and it is true that they drop out in the 22 - 25 mph range. There are , I'm sure there are <br />some yard slugs that are still used that run in the 10 - 15 mph range, and used in yard moves and maybe hump service. Due to the amount of electric current needed for road locomotives to accelerate to road speed and being able to keep that speed, which is usually over 22 to 25 mph, slugs would not beable to help in reducing fuel costs. Also the weight of the slug factors into the tonage weight that the motive power can get accross the road at a set speed in a sceduled amount of time. <br /> marvin
