Often cars are just left where they stop after being "kicked" into a track. As long as a hand brake is tied to at least one car in every cut of cars. Air is often only hooked up if you are building a train, after it is assembled or parking an assembled train. Many yards are slightly bowl shaped and then sometimes cars aren't tied down at all. If a yard is on a grade then cars are kept togther often with the air brakes hooked up and applied. So cars don't nessesarily always have to be coupled up to each other in each yard track.
