English term or phrase: push away (uncoupled wagons)
This is especially important for cargo of classes 1, 2 and 3. 'Bumping' means the process of pushing uncoupled wagons away from the locomotive, after which the wagons will move on their own until they 'collide' with others or otherwise come to a halt
