11:53 is why you have trim jobs. The knuckle on the spine was open, but the drawbar was not straight on the multi-level (autorack), So they "bypassed". When the track is ready to be gathered up and built into a outbound train a trim job will go and make sure the whole track is together, and fix any "butted" (both knuckles closed) or "bypassed" (seen here) couplings.

Nice video,thanks for sharing😊
Cool
My dad would take us to the hump at Norris Yard.
What do those cars that failed to couple to the autoracks haul? I've never seen that style of covered container.
