Have you ever been out railfanning near a major yard, or on a local branch line? If so, you most likely have seen one of these oddities of the railroad, a Slug! In this video, we find ourselves on the north end of Norfolk Southern's massive DeButts classification yard in Chattanooga, Tennessee! Along with plenty of action on NS CNO&TP District and CSX W&A Subdivision, we also dive into the logistics of how a "slug" locomotive works!

Although I encourage you to watch the whole video, If you wish to skip to the explanation of a slug unit, you can skip to 5:24 and it ends around 8:40
Nice day at the yard, and good explanation of the slug locomotive. Next on the list -- an indepth look at cow and calf locos.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍
Awesome Catch.
Nice video as usual! Great job with the explanations of everything!
Thanks!
Very well explained. Great Video!
Thank you!
7:59 my favorite railroad
seems 738 slug is active roster, but stored now. wild
You mentioned empty Auto Racks heading south from Louisville KY to CSX Baldwin yard. Why would empties be headed south instead of the other way around? I think I know …..would like you to confirm. Great videography and commentary. Look forward to more of your videos.
Sorry, they might be loaded. The info I found online said that it typically was an empty train.
@@northernohiorailfanningpro8899 The Racks appear to be empty on NS SB tracks. The cars may eventually end up in Baldwin yard in FL and subsequently head north on CSX after being consolidated with Florida empties there at Baldwin yard.

Hi Andrew
@@northernohiorailfanningpro8899 thank you for this video
What’s up good sir? You mind if I use a clip from this in a video I’m working on? All credits will be given of course, and if it’s a no it’s all good.
Have a blessed day and keep up the good work.
Hello! Which clip would you be interested in using? I wouldn’t mind at all as long as credit is given! I actually watch your videos, you’re going places man… your editing style and humor makes your content so enjoyable.
@@northernohiorailfanningpro8899 What’s up, man? Those kind words mean a lot. I just wanted a clip of the slug footage you got l here. Thank you once again, and have a blessed day.
@@LocoPro Yea by all means man go for it! I’m curious to see what you’re gonna use it in! You have a very blessed day as well. (Even tho it’s almost over at this point lol)
One question why do the cabless slugs have a horn if there’s no cab to use it?
The horn and bell can be controlled from the RCO pack i talked about in the video, and can also be controlled from the mother unit.
