Here's a link to a roster shot with a description:
Waste Management's brand new Mother/Slug combo sits on Track 10 at Fresh Pond Yard. The pair (USWX 400 & USWX 010) was purchased by Waste Management and built by Knoxville Locomotive Works (KLW) for use by New York & Atlantic Railway's Yard jobs which have the primary task of serving two of Waste Management's transload locations in New York City (Varrick Ave in Bushwick & Review Ave in LIC).
The "mother" unit, USWX 400 is a KLW SE23B-M Tier 4 locomotive built from HATX 415 which was originally built as B&O GP40 3694. The "slug" unit, USWX 010, is a SE23B-S built from UPY 923, which was originally built as SLBM (MoPac) SW-9 9191.

WATCO will continue their normal operations at both locations with their Shuttlewagons.
