切り離し。切り離しを行います。 kirihanashi. kirihanashi o okonaimasu. Uncoupling. This train will be uncoupled.

Why this phrase

Plenty of Japanese trains split mid-route: the front cars carry on, the back cars peel off somewhere else or stop dead. It's announced clearly, once, in a fast polite sentence built around one word nobody teaches you. Listening-recognition at survival level: hear 切り離し, check your car number, walk forward.
