Well here is an answer to these questions. I think i have a pretty good idea but if anyone knows more they can add to it. As far as priority the MAIL trains had tops over VAN trains. I dont remember too many being around for a long time. I know CSX still carries some mail on the Van trains over the Boston and Albany line still. The second question is in reference to a gang that was taken into custody in New Jersey near Weehawken that would pull the uncoupling pins on the cars to seperate the train while it was going at slow speed. They would then to break into the boxcars and containers and turn them from loads to empties. I knew a conductor when i was working in Selkirk yard and he said they unloaded a boxcar of beer before he could walk back to where the car was in the train.
