Presumably it's left accessible because it's an emergency exit?

- Locking a cab down = in an actual emergency you can't escape the damn train.

- All conductor cabins are locked when in or not in use.

- The emergency break is a big red thing on a string that you can pull that is right next to either cab exit that is on the 2 ends of a cab.
