Slug shown behind a full-sized diesel. Note the cut-down shell of the slug, as it has no prime mover.A slug is used to increase adhesive weight, allowing full power to be applied at a lower speed, thus allowing a higher maximum tractive effort. They are often used in low-speed operations such as operations in At low speeds, a prime mover is capable of producing more electricity than its traction motors can use effectively. Extra power would cause the wheels to slip and possibly overheat the traction motors.
A slug increases the number of traction motors available to the locomotive, increasing both the pulling and braking power. In addition the load on each traction motor is reduced, which helps prevent overheating from excess current. Slugs typically carry ballast to increase their weight and improve traction.
And are both 'Comet Shoemaker–Levy'). Unlike a, the next passage of a numbered periodic comet can be predicted with a high degree of accuracy.Periodic comets sometimes bear the same name repeatedly (e.g. 
The nine Shoemaker–Levy comets or the twenty-four comets); the IAU system distinguishes between them either through the number prefix or by the full designation (e. Even so, quite a few comets were lost because their orbits are also affected by non-gravitational effects such as the release of gas and other material that forms the comet's and tail.
Large blocks of are frequently used for this purpose, substituting for the weight of the now-absent prime mover.Slugs can be built new or converted from existing locomotives. Conversion has enjoyed popularity as a way to reuse otherwise obsolete locomotives, especially those with worn-out diesel prime movers but having good traction motors.Types There are several types of slug, distinguished by intended use.
This division is not absolute, and characteristics of one type may appear on another.Yard slugs. SNCF Class 030 DA (then C 61000) and a TC 61100 slug for yard service.A yard slug is designed for switching, and therefore is built to increase visibility in low-speed operation. It has a low body and no cab, allowing the engineer or driver in the powered unit to see past it. Koyotl magyarul. Mother-slug sets are used in heavy switching, switching, and transfer runs between yards.
Some are radio controlled without an engineer in the cab.Hump slugs A hump slug is designed for even slower operation than a yard slug. They are often six-axle slugs and are often paired with lower-powered six-axle locomotives. They are designed for the specialized purpose of pushing a long cut of cars over a hump at 2 to 3 miles per hour (3.2 to 4.8 km/h), while yard slugs would normally operate at up to 10 to 15 miles per hour (16 to 24 km/h).Road slugs. CSX ex-EMD GP40 road slug 2358 in. It lacks radiator openings and fans, compared to the trailing unit.Road slugs are intended to serve as part of a regular locomotive consist for road haulage, and as a result have certain adaptations to suit them for this service. They usually retain, a feature useless at the low speeds encountered in switching service, and they may be equipped to serve as for the attached 'mother' locomotives.In operation, they are used to provide extra traction at low speeds.
As speed increases they are disconnected from the power circuit and function as a if they are in the lead, or simply as an unpowered car in the consist. In braking they augment the powered locomotives, both during dynamic and air brake application.Road slugs may take several forms. A group of and locomotives were converted by and operated as half of mother-slug pairs.
Externally they retain the general appearance of powered diesel-electric locomotives, though they can be identified by the lack of and the removal of most of the access doors on the side of the body. They retain the cab and its controls, and therefore multiple unit control allows them to function as the lead in a string of units.
The TEBU units created on the from, on the other hand, were cabless; this potential operational deficiency was compensated for by putting them as the center unit of a set of three.When at one end of a set, train crews will often go to great lengths to arrange for the slug to be the leading unit, as the lack of a diesel prime mover provides them with a quiet and vibration-free ride.MATE MATEs appear similar to slugs, but their design is different. Instead of siphoning-off power as a slug does, the axles in a MATE are fully connected into the transition series in the locomotive it is connected to.
A double-ended MATE (a MATE with connections on both ends) turns two four-axle locomotives into the equivalent of two fully fledged six-axle locomotives. A single-ended MATE turns a four-axle locomotive into the equivalent of an eight-axle locomotive. MATEs do not cut out at speed as the motors are fully included in the series–parallel transition stages.
SCL's fleet is the prime example: they were delivered new with special electrical cabinets to handle the 2 to 4 extra motors in a MATE. With a double-ended MATE, two were equivalent to two in every way.Some railroads emulated this concept by using two, then swapping in six-axle electrical cabinets, and then connecting the GP40s to a double-ended slug rebuilt from an old locomotive.
The result is the equivalent of two.Terminology. SL1 on display outside the Frisco Depot Museum inSlugs are known by other names as well. Some are:. Drone (used by the ). MATE (Motors for Added Tractive Effort, used by ). RDMT (Road MATE), used by. RDMATE (used by ).

This designation is incorrect as the CCRCLs do not have traction motors.Snails A snail, often confused with a slug, is a cabless locomotive with a prime mover. However, instead of getting electricity from a separate unit, snails have no traction motors and therefore are incapable of operating under their own power. Like slugs, snails are rebuilt from damaged or worn out locomotives and retain the frame and bogies from the original unit. Snails are used for powering engineless units and have no cab or means to control themselves manually, except from a separate unit. SP rebuilt 9 into snails for their.
