A work machine powered electrically by a conductor rod contacting power rails along a haul route. The conductor rod has a central passageway coupling a head to a tip. A barrel extending from the head and an arm extending from the tip have concentric tubular conductors radially offset from each other and slidably mated together. The concentric tubular connectors maintain physical and electrical contact as the conductor rod extends and contracts so that contact with electrical power is maintained despite lateral movements caused by steering or road conditions.
