How did those coaches have power for lights?

They were able to restore power when the locomotives were coupled to the seven car train. All Amtrak equipment relies on head-end power.

I think these coaches are designed with a reserved power source like batteries as a short term solution in case anything happened with the HEP source. It would also allow for a power source to ready the coaches as they're being prepared for their next trip. Back in the early days of electricity on trains, batteries were charged by the motion of the wheels of the coaches. Those batteries didn't last long on charge because if the train stayed stopped for several minutes or more, the lights would dim. This, of course, was replaced by steam generators on locomotives, then today's HEP, which can charge the batteries today.

@@bowlinerailfan makes sense. I know these are the newest coaches. I think the Amfleet coaches are just dead if HEP is lost.
