Because the car is motoring at that point, it is drawing several

In reality, several thousand. 59 stock and other trains prior to the
present generation drew about 3000 amps when pulling away. I would
hazard a guess that the newer trains draw somewhat more, although being
"more efficient" I could be wrong..

Are you thinking of whole trains' current draw when Roger is referring to
a single motor car?

Yup, my mistake.
