You can blow compressed air through the line.

just running the faucets usually drains them enough to keep them from bursting.

The pipes do not have to be totally empty. Pipes burst because when the water inside them freezes it expands. If the pipe is not full and there is only a little water in there then if it freezes it won't expand enough to damage the pipes.
