It is.
The PL stands for Port Link from memory.( I could be wrong)
They are to be used for push pull operations where there are no
turnaround points.
Rumour has it that they work through remote control with the crew in the
leading loco.
The park brakes can be put on be remote too.

Hope this helps.
