Abstract: A storage assembly (212) for switches (160) couplable to batteries (156) of an electric machine (108) to energize the batteries (156). The storage assembly (212) includes a container (240) defining a cavity (260) to store the switches (160), a lid (244) movable between a closed state and an open state with respect to the container (240) to respectively close and open the cavity (260), and 10 a lock out tag out (LOTO) device. The container (240) is configured to be grasped between a pair of arms (220`, 220``) of a handrail (208) that swings with respect to a walkway platform (196) of a power compartment (144) of the electric machine (108). The LOTO device is interchangeable with the switches (160) to selectively be received in the cavity (260) in place of the switches (160) when the 15 switches (160) are coupled to the batteries (156), and be coupled to the batteries (156) in place of the switches (160) to lock out and keep the batteries (156) from energizing when the switches (160) are received in the cavity (260).
