I agree. I have seen knuckles break within 6 to 8 <br />cars from the rear end due to the increase in slack force as the train accelerates. Undulating, or "rollercoaster" grades can be a real problem with out the proper brakepipe reduction. Especially for green engineers. Claiming delays for knuckle bypasses can be tricky in CTC territory if you need to make a long reverse move to saw a knuckle back without permission. It's bad enough without cabooses to walk all the way to the rear end, let alone carrying a knuckle, air hose and wrench with you.
