  • Somebody forgot to couple up.

  • @cliffsoar They couple to the waiting engines at the other end of the yard.

  • Fantastic noise, health and safety here in the UK would probably ban this, which used to be comanplace, here it was called fly shunting

  • wonder how the rolling stocks stop in the end

  • Hump shunting:-))) We've not had this in the UK for nearly 30 years!!!

  • @chrissun86 They're not shunted without a locomotive pushing them. The locomotive has given them a shove and stopped.

  • @koppie101 The wagons are moving downhill. They're pushed by a locomotive over the top of a hill and then roll under gravity. They're braked by devices in the track that grip the flanges of the wheels: hence, the squealing noises.

  • yeah, how does it work, amazing

  • how does that work o.O
