What was the worker doing at the front of the locomotive just aft of the steps after he connected the air lines?

@epistte This was the 2nd Cut of cars going in, So i imagine he was uncoupling the engines inside the facility and just hopped back on. Because they had to run around the train to get back out.

He is opening the air for the brakes to the train.

@Derailedtrain666 I was referring to when he stood at the front of the locomotive, but after he recoupled the air hoses. It looked like he was adjusting something or maybe opening a valve just behind the steps at the front on the locomotive . About 1:24 to 2:20..
