AMTRAK material handling cars

Posted by Railfan1 on Wednesday, August 30, 2006 5:08 PM

Why did Amtrak's material handling boxcars need this electrical set up? Was it incase the boxcars were in front of the train between the locomotives are cars? Wait, I think I just answered my own question. Is this right?
