The first car after the locomotives looked from an aerial view to have radiator cooling fans. Is this a type of head end power for when the train is pulled by steam? or what is the purpose?

Current generation, except for Amtrak, do not have steam generators or the head end power to power a passenger train. This car allows any locomotive consist to pull a complete passenger train without regard to power or steam production issues.
