assisted train
If it is necessary to assist a disabled train with another train, or motive power unit, a Network Control Officer
must tell the Train Crew:
of the ASSISTING TRAIN or motive power unit, about the Condition Affecting the Network (CAN), and
of the ASSISTED TRAIN, about the details of assistance to be provided.
[ ... ]
ASSISTING TRAINS
Disabled trains must be assisted in accordance with the requirements specified in the ARTC Train Operating
Conditions (TOC) manual.
If practicable, ASSISTED AND ASSISTING TRAINS may be AMALGAMATED, in accordance with the requirements specified in the TOC manual, and worked as a single train.
If the ASSISTING AND ASSISTED TRAINS cannot be worked as a single train, a certified Driver must control each train in accordance with the requirements

Push Out - The rescue of a failed train by the following train, which is used to provide power by pushing the defective train to the depot. The process invariably causes a long delay because the coupling is slow (largely due to unfamiliarity of the crew with the coupling system, since they don't get to use it very often) and the two trains must be detrained one after another at the next station. Speed is severely restricted and the double length train causes track circuits to respond in unusual ways - normally locking signals at danger, causing further delays. Not to be recommended.

In the following case it is presumably a "pullout":
The RGU [rail grinding unit] had successfully completed the rail grinding work planned for the night of 12/13 August 2010 when, at about 03:30 hrs its engine failed with the RGU standing in the southbound tunnel about 500 metres north of Archway station (the breakdown site). The RGU crew found that they were unable to repair the defect without causing excessive delays to passenger services which normally start in this area at about 05:30 hrs. Control room staff therefore sent an empty passenger train from East Finchley station to recover the RGU. This train was intended to PULL the RGU back to East Finchley station, and then into Highgate depot.
The ASSISTING TRAIN reached the RGU at 05:44 hrs. Staff from the RGU and the assisting train coupled the trains together using the emergency coupler in accordance with instructions carried on the RGU (paragraph 80). The RGU crew then used hand tools to fix the RGU’s brakes in the off (released) position. This meant that the RGU was now an unbraked vehicle at the rear of the ASSISTING TRAIN.
44 Control room staff then gave authority for the ASSISTING TRAIN to start PULLING the RGU towards East Finchley (ie contrary to the normal direction of train movements in the southbound tunnel). This movement commenced at 06:34 hrs."

: but wouldn't "assisted" correspond more specifically to "secourue" in the list of synonyms in asker's sentence? // good point :-)

It may not be necessary to enter two terms in English just because there are two in French! We'll have people harpooning whales and sperm whales next!

That said, two entries in that client glossary is about all I have on "accoster". The UIC site has all of one brief mention of bumping (it looks as if, understandably, it's not allowed when the parking brake is on): http://www.uic.org/com/IMG/pdf/UIC_Leaflet_612.pdf
Your text is apparently discussing the case of trains/trainsets being rescued by being "bumped". The poorly one can be described as the broken-down train, the train rescued or the train bumped (or the rescued train / bumped train, etc., depending on how you prefer to phrase it).
