Michael,
 
Unfortunately automic couplers were not automatic and failed routinely. I have very personal first hand knowledge of this fact. As reference see the federal law as to the rights of those affected when the automic coupler doesnt work.

Wasn't the era of link and pin couplers?  Coupling on didn't just involve banging into the cars and hoping that the pin dropped

...At Benkelman, 95 miles from Akron, a freight was standing on the side track.  As the runaway train passed, the engineer ran his engine out with a brakeman on the tender to make the coupling, and gave chase.  It was an exciting chase, but the engine soon closed the gap between itself and the flying train.  About half way between Benkelman and Max the fugitive was overtaken, the coupling successfully made, and th e cars, after pulling the engine some distance, brought to a standstill. 

(No white flags or lights to identify it as an extra, nor any marker lights on the rear!)
