Marking system
The tell-tale is a technical device, device or article which gives the warning to the train crew and other staff during the train transport or shift.
The signal shall be a visible or audible expression of the order or message as specified by the signal sign.
The signal character is a way of expressing signals, consisting for example of light colour, group of lights, colour and shape of the signal, type of sound, intermittent sound etc.
Basic signals
1. The signal "Stop, stop by all means," given by circling the signal flag, by any object, or even by hand, under reduced visibility by circling the light of any colour other than green, or by audible signals consisting of three short sounds of whistle, pipes, horn, several times repeated. On the stop, stop by all means, the railway vehicle shall be stopped as soon as possible by all means available.

2. The signal "Stop," given by light, signal flag, red circular target, red rectangular plate; the warning indicates the place where the runway vehicle must stop as prescribed. If the stop signal is given in the event of an emergency stop, it shall be prelined in such a way that the runway vehicle can stop safely at the specified location.

The signal "Stop ', given by the yellow rectangular plate; the signal indicates the location where the head of the drifting train shall not pass through.

3. Sound warning "Caution" given by the long sound of a whistle or a horn of the leader of the train vehicle; the warning shall be provided by the person, the driving railway vehicle, at all times in order to warn against the driving track and to alert the persons when operating the track and rail traffic for the ride of the track.

4. Manual signals when moving:
4.1. "Remote" is a signal, given by vertical movement of hands or signal flag, under reduced visibility by vertical movement of a hand lamp with white light; supplemented, if necessary, by one long sound of signal whistles. The "Remote 'command directs the movement of the groove vehicle from the person giving it.

4.2. "Zoom in" is a signal, given by horizontal long hand or signal flag movements, with reduced visibility by horizontal long hand lamp movements with white light; accompanied, as appropriate, by two long sounds of indicated whistles. The warning signal shall direct the movement of the groove vehicle towards the person giving it.

4.3. "Push" is a signal, given by short horizontal movements of hands together and apart; in one hand, the person holding the flags, under reduced visibility, instead of the flag of a lamp with white light or two short sounds of signal whistles quickly in a row. The visible warning shall not be given by a person standing between the track vehicles. The device commands the vehicle to be compressed so that it can be attached or hung.

4.4. "Tighten" is a warning given by short vertical movements of hands raised upwards in an angle; in one hand is held by a flag person with reduced visibility of a lamp with white light.
