	~~Most motorized~~ {{pll\|Rail Vehicle Types\|rail vehicles}} come equipped with ~~a valve to cutout~~ their {{pll\|~~Air~~ Brake ~~System Overview~~\|train brake control valve}} from the rest of the train. This valve is ~~called brake cutout, and~~ typically ~~it is~~ located ~~underneath~~ the train brake control ~~valve~~, in the {{pll\|Rail Vehicle Types\|cab}} ~~of the vehicle~~.		Brake cutout is a valve most {{pll\|Rail Vehicle Types\|motorized rail vehicles}} come equipped with, that cuts their {{pll\|Train Brake\|train brake control valve}} from the rest of the train. This valve is typically located under the train brake control device, in the vehicle's {{pll\|Rail Vehicle Types\|cab}}.

	~~When a cutout valve is closed on a vehicle, it is still able to~~ brake ~~as part of a train and it's only its control valve that is no longer functional. The ability to~~ cutout valves ~~is necessary~~ to ensure ~~safety of~~ a train with ~~multiple~~ motorized vehicles ~~that~~ would ~~otherwise conflict each other~~.		The brake cutout valves are there to ensure that, in a train with many motorized vehicles, only one train brake control device is enabled. If there were multiple, {{pll\|Braking Overview\|conflicts}} would occur, potentially resulting in dysfunctional brakes and a disaster.

	The cutout valve only affects the train brake control ~~valve~~, ~~and when it is closed~~ other brake types, such as {{pll\|Independent Brake\|independent}}, can still be used ~~normally~~.		When the train brake is cut out on a vehicle, its control device is no longer functional. However, the vehicle is still able to brake, as controlled by another vehicle's train brake.

			The cutout valve only affects the train brake control device, but other brake types, such as {{pll\|Independent Brake\|independent}}, can still be used freely.

Most motorized rail vehicles are equipped with a special valve that isolates their brake control device from the rest of the train. This valve is called brake cutout, and is typically located underneath the train brake control device, in the cab of the vehicle.

When having their cutout valve closed, vehicles are still able to brake as part of a train, but their control device is no longer functional. Being able to close the cutout valves is useful when a train has a mix of self-lapping and non-self-lapping valves, requiring specific vehicles to be isolated to resolve the valve conflict.

The cutout valve only affects the train brake control device, and when it is closed the other brake types can be used normally.
