The CSX Road Slug fleet has always been equiped with fully functional cabs and have been capable of leading since day 1. You need to do some research before making such statements. Had there been no intention of having functional cabs on these units hey would have been cut down just like the yard slug fleet.
and while originally the road slugs and mother units were equiped with fuel transfer equipment so that the mother unit could serve as a fuel tender, most if not all of these units have had this equipment removed and the fuel tanks of the slugs have been filled with sand as ballast.
