Here at Belmont, at the top of Crawford Hill, these two manned SD70ACes will cut away from this eastbound coal load. The coal train does not even stop when the helpers cut away. They are not coupled to the rear DPU, but simply pushing on the train. The helpers will apply some brakes, slow down as the coal train continues, and then stop on the opposite side of the signals.
