I remember that the R9s (and the standards too?) could put the brakes into the equivalent of 'full service' at one end, go to the other end, insert the brake handle and could release from there. That's because the 'key' hole on the AMUE type was close to the release position instead of at emergency.

Of course, if the M/M let it dump air while the brake handle was at full service, if he waited too long, it would give the BIG dump. I actually saw this happen on a GG at the Bergen St station when the M/M left the cab (left the door wide open) to take care of something.
