[CBQ] Re:Dutch Drop

[Milton Clark <unclemilty@bresnan.net>]

 From book Railroad Avenue by Freeman Hubbard, 1945 Whittlesley  
House, New York;

Dutch Drop -Rarely used method of bringing a car onto the main line  
from a spur.  The engine head into the spur, couples head-on to the  
car, and backs out.  When the car is moving fast enough the engine is  
cut off, speeds up to get back on the main line before the car, then  
moves forward ahead of the junction between the main line and the  
spur so the car rolls out behind the engine.
