That's an easy question.  They're drawing power through this drawbar, it's a two-way street.  

What would be the purpose for that John?  Erics demo video shows pickup rollers on the tender.

I don't know if power dropouts have been that big of an issue on these models over the years to engineer an new drawbar just to link pickup rollers.

Or is it something to do with the way Lionchief plus 2.0 operates?

My last ( Dumb)question is. How many wires are going to an "8 pin tether"? Four on each side, or eight.

As compared to the newer I.R. drawbars that only have two on each side of the coupling.
