Thai Lift Operator
A signalman gives a boost to his assistant at Sala Mae Tha railway station in Lamphun Province. The assistant, who happens to be his grandson, is fastening a "token" to be plucked from its place by the operator of the next passing train. Tokens, an early system of track control which predate electronic signaling, are common in Thailand.
