Conrail decided to construct a fleet of slugs using worn-out Alco RS-11, RSD12, and RSD-15 units in 1978 and 1979. Conrail removed the diesel engine, generator, and cab from the original units. The underframe, trucks, traction motors, and blowers remained. The hoods were chopped down and patched up. All four-axle slugs came from RS-11's and were classed as MT-4's (Motor Trailer 4-axle).All MT-4's were retired October 3, 1995, except for CR 1003, 1004, 1006, and 1018, all of which stayed on roster until May 1999. CR 1022 was retired February 28, 1996. The roster below covers those units operated by Conrail from the arrivial of the first unit until May 1999.
