What is the Slug?
In real life when a locomotive reaches its end of life, some of its components can still be reused. Slugs are an example of that. They are modified diesel-electric locomotives, in this case a DE6, in such a way that they no longer have a diesel engine or a cab. What they do still have are the traction motors, and a body filled with concrete to make them heavy.
In Derail Valley the DE6 Slug is a "work train". What this means is that in career mode there's only one on the map, in a locked garage somewhere. The key for the garage can be purchased in the Harbor shop. Once unlocked, the vehicle can be moved around freely, and summoned using the comms radio, for a fee. In sandbox mode it's always available.
What is the Slug used for?
On its own the Slug is practically useless. When coupled to a diesel-electric locomotive via MU cable, however, it starts to make sense. Instead of feeding only its own traction motors, the locomotive now powers both its own and the Slug's motors. This drastically reduces the amperage per motor, allowing applying a lot more throttle without risk of overheating or slipping.
In other words, the Slug can help drastically increase the pulling capacity of a DE locomotive by utilizing its generator better at low speeds. However, this doesn't come without cost – apart from adding extra weight, the Slug's traction motors also provide significant additional EMF, making reaching higher speeds much more difficult.
