If a slip coach is behind other coaches how was this accomplished ?
A train is chugging along at 55 mph destined for next station. Apparently there's a brakeman in a SC cab.. Is it like the outlawed practice in the US, 'switching on the fly', where cut lever is pulled, remaining car or cars continue coasting while switch is thrown so they pass on by the loco and its cars into another yard ladder track ? Video shows a couple of SCs but doesn't seem to actually show the activity, results, and virtue of this..What then becomes of the slipped coaches after filled ? How do they then continue on ? Is it merely so that extra long passenger trains can fit into a second platform track at same time as rest of train; enabling unboarding / boarding of riders at same time ?
