The Gotherington signalman is offering the token for the Gotherington-Cheltenham section, while preparing to accept the Winchcombe-Gotherington one from the crew of BR 'Standard Class 2' (visiting from the Great Central Railway and blowing off excess steam).

Tokens are exchanged between drivers at Romney Sands as the 12:10 from Hythe, worked by 112hp Bo-Bo diesel-hydraulic 12 'J.B.Snell' (built by TMA Engineering in 1983), enters the station and passes the 12:40 service from Dungeness, hauled as far as New Romney by 4-8-2 'Samson'. The expression on the young boy's face looking out of the window of the first coach as he sees the 'Prussian' blue steam locomotive 'Samson' waiting in the station is a picture!

Wikipedia: "In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a train driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the names of the section to which it belongs. A token system is more commonly used for single lines because of the greater risk of collision in the event of a mistake being made by a signaller or traincrew than on double lines."

The signaller heads down the stairs in the afternoon autumnal sun to collect the token as 170204 approaches the 1884 built Tondu signal box with 2L54 1315 Maesteg to Cardiff box on Friday 18th November 2022.
What a great place this must have been 40 or so years ago when 4 wheeled mineral wagons were the mainstay of the traffic hauled by Canton 37s.
7F 53808 runs into Ropley and is about to receive the token for Alresford giving up the token from Medstead in return. This was the substitute loco for the failed schools and had raised steam by 12.00 to take up the duty
The token is passed to a westbound train at Bewdley, UK. The token allows movement of this train to the next signal box.
The crews of Port Erin and Douglas-bound services prepare to exchange the single-line tokens at Ballasalla station on a wet 24th October 2014. The manned station at Ballasalla was the usual crossing point for trains. However, this scene would within days pass into the history books for, from the start of the 2015 season's timetable, service trains would thereafter cross at Castletown. Ballasalla station's up loop was locked out of use except for use by maintenance trains, and from the end of the 2015 timetable the station became unmanned by a permanent paid staff member.

Signalman and railway author Adrian Vaughan is seen exchanging tokens with the crew of BR standard class 4 loco, 76084, at Weybourne on the North Norfolk Railway. Although the light was pretty rotten on my visit, I had enjoyable few hours chatting to Adrian and drinking his tea.

So yes I am in my mid 20's and yes I LOVE Pokemon! For Christmas, I was lukcy enough to get the special Pokemon Kanto edition of Monopoly which I really wanted and had a lot of fun playing Christmas night after dinner.
These are the tokens which replace the usual ones in the standard editions of monopoly. I was originally going to do a 1:1 macro shot of each individual token but i liked this set up better. For any Pokemon fans, definitely go out and get the Pokemon Monopoly, you won't regret it!
It is a rare sight nowadays to witness a token exchange. The driver of 59104 'Village of Great Elm', hands over the token to the signalman at Park Junction, Newport, having just completed the single-track journey from Machen with crushed stone destined for West Drayton on the 6A83 service. The strange metal box next to the car is to protect the signal man’s car from youths hurling stones.
Park Junction Signal Box in Newport is a GWR box that dates back to 1885, built by McKenzie & Holland with both lever frame and panel for signalling. There were 100 recorded levers in 1920. This splendid signal box, though somewhat dilapidated, appears to have quite a few of its original features. I am not sure if this little gem has achieved grade II listed status, but according to my research it is scheduled to be decommissioned sometime this year as a result of all signalling in South Wales ultimately being controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff.

Guess what?! Here’s a new surprise addition to this round of GCW! Bat-Tokens! Make sure you read their rules, because they really could mean life or death for you!
--
Bat-Token General Rules:
General Rules:
What is a Bat-Token?
-Bat-Tokens are unique artifacts that players discover as the game progresses. They hide on neutral lots and give the discoverer powerful one time abilities.
All Bat-Tokens can be used only once, and after their use they are removed from the game. Players may only carry one Token at a time, unless stated differently. All Bat-Tokens, unless stated differently have an expiration date, and must be used before that date or they will automatically be removed from the game once the expiration date is reached. Bat-Tokens, with long enough expiration dates or depending to the discovery date, may continue to function through Refresh Mondays, unless stated otherwise.
Bat-Tokens are spread throughout the city, and there are multiples of each type of Token; as well as being many various Token abilities. The number of a certain type of Token is based on rarity, with some tokens being very common and others being ultra rare.
Discovering Tokens:
When a player lands on a territory with a Bat-Token, they will be notified by a comment on their takeover picture, and they will then be FM’d (As soon as possible) the name and description of the Token they discovered, as well as being notified of the time limit in which they have to use the Token. Other than the comment about the discovery on their picture, the public will know nothing about which Token was found (Or what it does), and will only find out the abilities of Token if it is used. Tokens that reach their expiration date are removed from the game, and the public will not be notified about which Token it was or what it did.
If you own a Bat-Token and move onto a lot where another Token presides, the second Token remains dormant until a player with no Token lands on that lot. This means that there could be Tokens on owned lots that are just dormant. Sometimes it may be possible for a player to return to owned lots and discover Tokens that were previously dormant. Dormant tokens are never removed from the game; so unless a Token is found/used/expires/or is discarded, it will remain dormant indefinitely, and will stay placed on the map.
Using Tokens:
To use a Token, you must post that your character is using one during a corresponding action. Most, if not all, Tokens can only be used along with a certain type of action, whether it be a takeover, move, transport, etc.; the required action for use will be stated in the Token’s ability.
On the photo and the action log, you must post the name of the Token, along with its full ability. If this is not done, the Token is ignored and discarded. Tokens may not be used on past actions. Once a Token is used, it is removed from the game.
Discarding Tokens:
Sometimes, you may find that it is in your interest to not continue holding a token you own. At any time, you are allowed as a free action to discard a token you possess. To do this, you must simply post in the action log that your player is discarding a token. Discarded tokens are removed from the game.
37191 waits at Tulloch as the driver on 37184 passes over the token for the stretch to Spean Bridge on 5th October 1983.
The token is exchanged with the driver of 37184, just arriving from Fort William on the 0840 to Glasgow Queen Street whilst 37191 waits for departure to Fort William with the 0550 from Glasgow. 37184 was taken to Dumbarton for a 303 to Glasgow. Can't think of any logical reason why I got off there except to save the walk from Queen Street to Central!
I then headed eastwards on a shove-set from Queen Street for some 27's on the Edinburgh - Dundee's and finally headed back to Liverpool on the 1805 ex Edinburgh which was hauled by 47703 (to Carstairs), 87011 (to Preston) and 47468 for the final part of the trip to Lime Street. This was the last day of a week long Scottish trip.
37191 was withdrawn in February 2001 after over 37 years service.
37184 was withdrawn in May 2000 and scrapped in September the following year.

This is as good as it gets. Video created by Casey Reagan:
Noë Gold Chats With Kelly Z about ‘Hendrix Now’ (The Hendrix Backstory)
JIMI HENDRIX, the greatest guitarist – possibly the greatest musician – of all time. Do YOU love Jimi as much as I do? His story has a lot to say to all generations about life, music and spirit and that is what I undertook when I became the Creative Director of the Jimi Hendrix Foundation, and before that, Editorial Director of the Hendrix Estate under the supervision of the late Alan Douglas, curator of Jimi Hendrix' recorded music and video. First and foremost, I am a storyteller. As a veteran music and entertainment journalist going back to my stint as the Founding Editor of Guitar World and editor at Crawdaddy, that is what I do. One story that I have been known for telling and re-telling to the point of obsession is that of Jimi Hendrix.
… and the entire project is explained on my Kickstarter campaign, which was successfully launched to celebrate Jimi Hendrix' birthday November 27, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. See the video at this link:

To follow on from another recent upload this is the single line token that permits trains to run between Buxton No.1 Junction and Great Rocks Junction on the former Midland Railway route through Wye Dale. The token is issued to the driver in a leather pouch but I took it out for this quick picture. The pouch is fitted with a wire loop allowing an easy hand over at both signal boxes.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I hope you all get tokens of love today! This is a section from one of my art journals. Inside is a aged picture of Lord Byron, a love letter and paper hearts. :)
Sorry I haven't been around much! I've got sooo much going on that there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get to play on flickr!

Halfpenny copper token
Ref: BOLMG: 1914.17.3
William Williamson, his halfpenny copper token, Newton, Manchester 1669.
Obverse [head]: HIS HALFPENNY 1669 in centre, surrounded by: William Williamson of.
Reverse: Two 'W's with flowers entwined between the letters in the centre: NEWTON ...R MANCHESTER.
Biography
This halfpenny copper token is dated 1669 and would have been used by traders in Manchester during the second half of the seventeenth century. It first came into the museum’s collection in 1914 as a purchase from S. H. Hamer of Halifax. The accession number is 1914.17 (part number .3) and the token entered the collection with five other 17th century trade tokens, all from Lancashire. The tokens were previously displayed in the Chadwick Museum, probably soon after 1914. It is unclear if they were displayed in our current museum on the Crescent recently, but you can now see this coin on display.
Some interesting facts…
Traders began minting their own coins in the 17th century as a result of a lack of small change being produced by the Royal Mint. From 1657 to 1752 many retailers, from grocers to city corporations made their own illegal money.
The coins often had local symbols and the name of the trader that produced them.
Tokens like this one only disappeared from circulation following properly constituted royal coinage in copper in 1792.
Find out more!
This token is now on display in the coin desktop found in the Europe Bay in the World Bays area of Bolton Museum.
Come and see other Lancashire tokens from Clitheroe and Blackburn alongside this one.
Do you have any information about 17th century tokens?
We would like to read any comments, especially if you know about local Lancashire tokens, or anything about Mr William Williamson of Newton, Manchester.
The Golden Gate International Exposition (1939 and 1940), held at San Francisco, California's Treasure Island, was a World's Fair that celebrated, among other things, the city's two newly built bridges. The San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge was dedicated in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge was dedicated in 1937. The exposition was opened initially from February 18, 1939 through October 29, 1939. It opened again from May 25, 1940 through September 29, 1940.
