I remember the kids (I say they were kids) used to put tires on the track when I went through Hoboken on freight-only River Line. They would stand them up so that as I ran over them, the tires would bounce around and separate an air hose back in the train. Then it was open season on whatever was in the boxcars or trailers.
Of course, the police were seldom around when this happened, so we would be there for an hour or two trying to get the train going again -- after the cute little fellows would close about 20 angle cocks.
Ah, Hoboken. I miss those days (NOT).
