What should be done if the ATC Bypass Switch seal is broken?

If the ATC Bypass Switch seal is broken, it is essential to report it to the Trainmaster or Dispatcher. This action is crucial because the broken seal can indicate a potential safety or operational issue that needs to be addressed. When a safety device like the ATC Bypass Switch is involved, there are protocols in place to ensure safe operations, and reporting the issue initiates proper investigation and remediation steps by qualified personnel.

Ignoring the situation, attempting to reseal it without proper guidance, or waiting for a schedule change may lead to unsafe conditions that could impact both the operation of the train and the safety of personnel. Proper reporting ensures that the necessary checks and repairs are made according to established protocols, maintaining safety standards and operational integrity.
