From what I gather like in Wyoming for the BNSF is that they cut off on the fly. The engineer on the pusher power dials in the Fred number of the train he is going to push on like a headend box so if the train goes into emergency it will shut him down even though the brake pipe is not connected. Then when it is time to cut off the engineer has a button on the control stand that will automatically pull the pin on the locomotive and away the train goes. Now I heard about this second hand from a conductor that worked out their. I have not ran anything like that yet. Just DP trains.
