I certainly would feel weird in rail car just rolling across a giant rail yard, without a locomotive or even breaks!
Well personally I would never want to be in a rail car with breaks. :lol: I don't think I feel comfortable with a car that had cracks and holes in it. :lol:
Now brakes on the other hand are really nice to have on a rail car.
Of course even cars that are being humped are still controlled to some extent. There are retarders that slow a car down before it couples to the car ahead of it. Mind you when humping cars, the ultimate brake is still the car ahead.
