That's not a drop, it's called a kick (where I work anyways). A drop is much more fun and dangerous! And don't even ask what a dutch drop is.

Please never bend over the drawbar for the air tap. First thing you know is that you loose your belly. You better work on the engineman's side of the train for safer work.

Thanks for all your NECR postings. Good stuff.

The sound and rumble of GP40's and SD40-2 EMDs, there is nothing more sweeter when it comes to locomotives.

That's not a kick, nor drop, it's called a gravity drop.

Posted by brakeman on October 26, 2009

Well realizing that gravity is the essential force needed to make this trick possible, we tend to get informal and refer to it simply as a drop.

Hmm, bottling the air, reaching over the drawbar, and cutting cars in a switchpoint (1:50), wow, these guys would never stand a chance on a more rules stringent RR. Nice video though!!

When they let cars roll like that it's called humping.
