RFP 7
Title:  RFP 7
Description:  Back in 1979, Potomac Yard was a busy place, though today you'd be hard pressed to prove it. RF&P used slug sets to work the hump, as seen here from Amtrak's Crescent. The slug appears to be from a modified Alco switcher.

Ununsual yard power
Title:  Ununsual yard power
Description:  RF&P was one of several roads that used slugs in their yards, though it was not a universal practice. Heres a hump set with a CR caboose at Potomac Yard in Alexandria a few years before the yard would be closed and the area redeveloped. You would not recognize it now.
