What is a required action when using the Motorman's Bypass?

When utilizing the Motorman's Bypass, it is essential to recognize that this procedure is intended strictly for emergency situations. The bypass is a safety feature designed to allow train operation under specific conditions that would otherwise prevent normal service, such as equipment failure or other urgent scenarios that threaten the safety of operations.

Using the Motorman's Bypass outside of emergencies could lead to unsafe conditions, unnecessary risks, and violations of operational protocols. It helps maintain the integrity of train operations by ensuring that engineers are only activating the bypass when absolutely necessary, thus prioritizing safety and adherence to established regulations. This aligns with best practices in rail operations where systems are designed to ensure that safety measures are employed judiciously and only in cases that warrant their use.
