It looks like there are hydraulic rams on each end of the depressed center part of the car and it seems to be made to ride extremely close to the rails presumably for maximum overhead clearance. My guess would be that they are there to control the rams to raise and lower the center of the car to clear switchgear etc., maybe in tight turns.I wonder what the guys in the cabs at each end of the car do? Notice they are not there when the train is moving faster.
