Even though managemnt frowns on dropping cars, it still takes place quite often at several locations. There is a local, at a nameless location, which drops its train into the yd if safe to do so often. Usually no more than 20 cars are involved but the most I witnessed was 42. Instead of dragging the train down to the other end of the yd and bringing the pwr back, after stopping and picking what trk to use, both angle cocks are closed (bottling the air), pin is pulled, switch lined, one crewman riding the head car. After the rear car clears the lead, the engr pops the HTD, which is linked to the ETD, which in turn causes the cars to stop. This is a controlled move as there is three ways to stop the movement.
