In this instance, a "joint" is a coupling to other equipment, aka "hook". There is a lantern signal equivalent, with elbow bent and lantern at shoulder level, the lantern is moved horizontally in quick thrusts. Three taps of the hand or three movements of the lantern would indicate "three cars to go".
