What should a crew do if they encounter a signal issue while in ATC Bypass mode?

When encountering a signal issue while in ATC Bypass mode, it is crucial for the crew to consult the Trainmaster for instructions. This step ensures that the situation is assessed by a knowledgeable authority, allowing for safe operational decisions. The Trainmaster has the expertise and resources to address the issue appropriately, ensuring both safety and compliance with procedural requirements.

Following the current speed limit is important, but in a scenario where there is a signal issue, obtaining guidance from a supervisory figure takes precedence. Resetting the system themselves may lead to unintended consequences or exacerbate the problem, and ignoring the signal could result in safety hazards, especially if the train is still in an active operational area. Consulting the Trainmaster helps guarantee that the crew acts in accordance with established safety protocols and best practices.
