The Hilton bound train moves empty chip cars and pulpwood racks with the help of a former Alco RS cut down to slug configuration.
CIRR closed its ALCO era by adding a group of SW units and two slugs. These along with a former CofGA Geep formed the basis of the roster until it was sold to GWI in the 2000s

The slugs didn't work out on the CIRR and ended up being a short lived experiment. They sat for years unused until the Bayline got one and now usually operates it with a GP40-2.
