Kadee means automatic decoupling with either static magnets or
electromagnets (static magnets work because you have to stop the train with
the coupler over the magnet for it to function). Presumably these would
include delayed uncoupling which allows you to stop on an uncoupling magnet,
partially decouple, push the decoupled car into a siding, and then reverse,
leaving the car behind (this means complex switching can often be done with
just a handful of uncoupling magnets).
