It is no longer a slug. The N&W built it into a slug from a wreck SD35, for use in heavy yard service. It is now a track geometry measurement device. Note the exhaust for a small diesel engine and the fuel tank.

Nigel N&W in HO scale, 1950 - 1955 (..and some a bit newer too) Now in San Jose, California
