Sec. 234.239  Tagging of wires and interference of wires or tags with 

signal apparatus.



    Each wire shall be tagged or otherwise so marked that it can be 

identified at each terminal. Tags and other marks of identification 

shall be made of insulating material and so arranged that tags and wires 

do not interfere with moving parts of the apparatus. This requirement 

applies to each wire at each terminal in all housings including switch 

circuit controllers and terminal or junction boxes. This requirement 

does not apply to flashing light units, gate arm light units and other 

auxiliary light units. The local wiring on a solid state crossing 

controller rack does not require tags if the wiring is an integral part 

of the solid state equipment.
