Pulled tail
Pulled tail is the colloquialism referring to the act of a guard or conductor of a railway to apply the emergency brakes when something unexpected has been noticed. This could be an excess of speed in a section of line known to have a lower speed, or strange noises and shaking that might indicate that the train has derailed or something has broken. In the United States, local colloquialisms include pull the air or big hole as verb phrases describing this same action. == Other uses ==
In the days before modern electrical communications, pulling the tail briefly was a way the guard could communicate to the driver that say a conditional stop was required at the next station.
