If a knuckle repair could not be quickly performed for some reason, would or could the rear portion of the train be pushed back to clear a nearby grade crossing?  I know this seems silly but could you not push against the broken knuckle after restoring the brake line?

Probably not.  What's to say there is only one broken knuckle?  If you send the air to rest rest of the train, it will most likely roll away when they kick off, and the train line will separate again, leaving you back where you started.  Or maybe worse, as the limited amount of charging time might mean less than effective brake application and dumping the air may not stop the unattached portion. 

Maybe installing more of these might help.  Some of the newer FBOXs have them from the factory.
