Matt, I'm curious as to the extra long air hose hanging on the ladder.

Jeff that's a backup hose. It allows a conductor riding a shove move to place the train into emergency in the event they need to stop ASAP. They're required by rule in some places regardless of if a shove move is planned or not.

Thank you Matt Donnelly. That type of Safety Feature makes sense to me.
I appreciate the explanation.
