I've stopped and watched it a few times, heck of a thing. You've got anywhere from 2 to even 6 strings rolling at any one time, and if they do everything right each one couples onto the consist ready to be laced up. They have an electric/remote switching panel system so noone has to run around manually moving levers, but the cars still have to be uncoupled. Stumbled on this site (and post) simply by accident looking for footage of this in action. I wish I had a video camera and I'd catch these guys in action some night.
