ACE is right.

Do trains or trucks cause more pollution?

For accuracy, that which you referred to as a "lift lever" is referred to as a "cutting lever." They operate the coupling pin (not the same as the knuckle pin, which holds the knuckle in place). But, not all pins are lifted from above. There are others that are mounted below the knuckle called "under slung pins." The levers are always "lifted" but the pins they release can be either above or below.

The levers are there, but with a "keeper" that prevents them from being uncoupled either accidentally or maliciously by anyone other than maintenance of way people.
