Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

KCS used their F's as raod slugs for years, then cut them all down into yard slugs.  I think a number of them are still in service.

Puddy, thanks for pointing out this article!!!  While it is years beyond my chosen modeling era it yet may come in handy for others looking to cut down a RS3 into a slug, and that is something of value!!!  Southern Railway had slugs rebuilt from a variety of locomotives (and some locomotive tenders) which had similar hood ends and L&N had a couple of RS3-based slugs as well...

"KCS used their F's as raod slugs for years, then cut them all down into yard slugs."

Which ones were rebuilt from F-units?  The only ones I am seeing at RRPA were rebuilt from Baldwin (ex-CNW) and EMD (various) switchers.

Now ATSF did build a couple of slugs from CF7s... but these were definitely different creatures.
