What is required for a train to resume normal operations after exiting Release mode?

To resume normal operations after exiting Release mode, the permission of the Trainmaster is required. The Trainmaster holds a critical position in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of trains. This individual oversees all train operations and is responsible for authorizing when a train can move from a state that requires careful monitoring to normal service.

Requiring the Trainmaster's permission helps maintain safety protocols and ensures that all safety checks and operational requirements have been met. This can include verifying that the train is in a condition suitable for safe travel, that crew members are aware of the change in operational status, and that any necessary communications have been made regarding the train's readiness.

While immediate clearance from the control center, a safety inspection, and notifying passengers are important for the overall safety and communication aspects of train operations, they are not specifically mandated as prerequisites for resuming normal operations after being in Release mode. The direct oversight and authority of the Trainmaster are critical in this context.
