Correct.... Not by rule but the normal way it was done in the past.

At current places some only use a one Engineer pusher. The have air
setups that get it done and still run by rule with train still moving.

Additional note...Where the rear end helper was behind the waycar some roads 
required that the air be connected between the waycar and the helper..Thus if 
the helper became uncoupled from the train the air would set on both the train 
and the helper. The crews didn't like this arrangment...The perferred 
arrangment was that the angle cock on the rear end of the waycar was closed and 
the air hose not connected...Thus when it was time for the helper to be dropped 
off all that was necessary was that the rear brakeman on the waycar would reach 
down and "pull the pin"...This was, of course, after the helper shoved in the 
slack between his engine and the waycar..Thus the helper could be cut off on 
the fly and a stop avoided.
