These are PZB “magnes.” As you can see, some of this train safety system is installed on the tracks. These “magnesies” together with the components installed in the train cause a forced braking, e.g. in the event of failure of a stopping signal or the non-confirmation of speed limiting signals.

These are magnets. They are needed for communication between signals and locomotives and provide emergency braking, for example, when the train travels via a red signal.

Probably for powering the E-Loks.
