What does the ATC Door Mode switch in Cut-Out position allow?

The ATC Door Mode switch in the Cut-Out position specifically allows the train engineer to have direct control over the train doors. This means that in this mode, the automatic control features for door operation are disabled, providing the engineer with the capability to manually control the opening and closing of the doors. This is particularly important in situations where automatic systems may not be functioning correctly or when manual intervention is required for safety reasons.

In general, the Cut-Out position is designed to prioritize the engineer's ability to ensure passenger safety and operational effectiveness by making sure they have full control over door operations when necessary.
