Unplanned movement of rolling stock resulting from a loss of control, inadequate securement or from switching cars without the use of air brakes.

Déplacement imprévu d'un matériel roulant attribuable à une perte de maîtrise, à une immobilisation insuffisante ou, dans le cas de wagons manœuvrés, à une manœuvre effectuée sans freins à air.
