The originals had an electric fuel pump and a mech fuel pump set up in parallel with the electrical fuel pick up being lower in the tank. The originals didn't have a fuel level gauge, just a fuel pressure gauge. So you drove the car off the mech pump and if you ran out of gas, you flipped on the electric pump and either pitted or drove to the nearest gas station.
The 4000/6000 CSX cars are all still set up this way, even though most of us have fuel level gauges.
I've actually needed to use this feature....
