Where is the ATC Bypass Switch located?

The ATC Bypass Switch is located in the engineer's cab and conductor's operating section because this placement allows immediate access for the crew in the event of an automatic train control (ATC) system failure or if it needs to be bypassed for any reason. By having the switch in the cab, both the engineer and conductor can quickly and effectively manage the train's operation and respond to situations that require the ATC system to be disabled, thus ensuring safe operations. This strategic positioning is critical for operational efficiency and safety, enabling prompt decision-making during emergencies or maintenance activities.
