[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 808209, member: 10543"] Yesterday's train Y102 at Columbia, SC. I didn't have time to set up for this guy, so parked, jumped out and tripped the shutter. Note that the second locomotive has no access doors on its long hood. It's a "slug" unit with no engine inside. It's partially filled with concrete for weight and has only traction motors. It takes its need for electricity from other locomotives like the 6918. This arrangement allows slow trains like this one to bring extra horsepower to bear while saving fuel.
