Hi. I'm lookign for any information on NS's fleet of slugs and mother units that power them. I see there are a number of different 4 and six axle slugs, some former conrail, i also saw a former "trainmaster" convereted into a slug as well, I think the mother unit for this was a SD40. What about the other slugs, what runs with them? How are the slugs connected to the mother unit (standard MU cables?) As you can see i am full of questions.

Thanks for getting me started into the understanding of the NS slugs and mother units (seems rather diverse and interesting)
