| In 1940, EMC built 3 drawbar-connected cab-and-booster NW2 sets for moving trains short distances from one railroad to another. These transfer units were nicknamed "Cow-Calf". Unlike Slugs, the "B" units had prime mover diesel engines, with exhaust stacks and radiators.
Although they look similar, Slugs/Power Mates are two locomotive units operating in tandem, both of which are equipped with traction motors. Only the locomotive is equipped with diesel engine and main generator, which provides the electric power for traction motors in both units. |
