What must be applied to the brake pipe branch pipe cut out cock when reporting?

The brake pipe branch pipe cut out cock requires an air brake cut out tag when reporting. This tag serves an essential purpose in signaling that the air brake system is temporarily disengaged or cut out for a specific situation, such as maintenance or testing. By applying this tag, you are clearly indicating to anyone who might be working on or around the equipment that the air brake system is not operational, ensuring safety and preventing any unintended use of the brakes during this period.

Using the air brake cut out tag is a standard safety protocol that aligns with industry regulations and practices aimed at maintaining safe equipment handling and operations. This action helps to mitigate risks that could arise if someone were to inadvertently attempt to operate the equipment while the brakes are disengaged.
