Ikoflex w/ Neopan Acros 100 [rescan]
It was late in January. I had just finished making a delivery to Kooper's - the last run I had to do and I wanted to get out with my recently purchased Ikoflex before the sun sank.
Fells Point is cold in the Winter. Lots of people still come but they stick in tighter groups that make the population feel sparse. There are lots of people indoors. Doors and windows into restaurants look like they lead somewhere else, like you could step out of winter for an hour and have a drink.
On the end of the pier you may not be alone but with the sharp wind to your face and the gray waves, the cold metallic and dimpled surface of the token telescope reflects the last light of the dipping sun and its glassy eyes look like they could show you any other desolate place on Earth.
The scene at Daliganj Junction Station in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh where the 11:40 Aishbargh to Izzatnager Junction Passenger 52244 was about to continue its journey north. The token had just been delivered by the bicycle rider who was about to turn and head off back to the control room. YDM-4 6552 would soon head off for Sitapur Junction and beyond.

I've picked up some old Marion trade tokens over the past few months and it's going to take some visits to the library to get more information about the location and what type of business it was.
I was in a mood to shoot small this morning, and when I was contemplating what to use as my subject du jour this was staring me in the face. My husband had given it to me, thinking that it was an old, leftover New York City Subway Token. Except that when I tried to look it up this morning, it didn't turn up in NYC token history. So I looked a little further, and established that the Metropolitan Transit Authority One Fare token was a pre-1964 token from Boston. We lived in Boston in the mid-80's, so this must have been leftover from that time. I guess they were the same size as the MBTA tokens that replaced them, and they must have remained in circulation until the time that Boston replaced tokens with Charlie Cards (like NYC's Metro Cards).
This is a re-shot of the subject, because I wan't happy with the detail in the earlier shot and wanted to try something different with it.
A summer Saturday at Welshpool and the driver of Class 37/0 37251 has a quick chat with the duty signalman as the tokens are exchanged. The 2J17 07:53 Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth comprised a set of Inter-City liveried stock that would later return as the 1A50 servce to London Euston.

This was the only day I could manage a few photos and was not the best weather wise.

Pantyfynnon South Signal Box in Carmarthenshire, is a GWR box of GWS design that dates back to 1892 when it had 49 levers. It is a Grade II listed building and clearly has been looked after judging by its current condition. The box controls the entire length of the Heart of Wales line up to Craven Arms in Shropshire using a "No-Signalman Token Remote" signalling system developed in the 1980s to reduce running costs on lightly used single track railways in rural areas. It also allows single freight train access along the Amman Valley Branch. The line was reopened in 2009 for coal trains running to Gwaun Cae Gurwen open cast coal mine (East Pit) run by Celtic Energy. I am told the signal box will remain in service until 2020.
The driver of an Arriva Trains Wales single unit Sprinter, 153323, on the Swansea to Shrewsbury service, is seen collecting the token from the signalman for the onward journey to Craven Arms.

66094 arrives at Brentford with the 0449 Severnside Sita-Brentford. As 6A23 had come down the branch with the ticket this train had the staff. As it will depart before me we exchange tokens so the Southall service can leave with the ticket leaving the staff on 6Z18
The driver of a passenger train is returning a token on the fly while passing through Sala Thammasop station West of Bangkok. Note the trackside device to catch the token.
I am delighted to share with you a pretty rose bouquet created for my lovely wife that I dearly cherish, and love. The roses are from cuttings that I collected from various gardens in our area.

At Muir of Ord, in August 1980, a brief break in the Mount-St-Helens-inspired miserable weather sees the sun shining on a 26 as it runs in from Dingwall with an up Kyle train.
The Dean Forest Railway held their Diesel Gala during the weekend of 15 to 17 September 2017 and I was able to make a brief visit on the first day. The lure was to see and photograph the visiting Clayton Type 1, but I also have an affinity with Class 31s, and the EWS livery of 31466 looks quite striking. The 31 has slowed to hand the token over whilst working the 14.00 Lydney Junction to Parkend and has but a few yards to reach its destination.
Woke up early to take the image, edited the image...forgot to post the image. So here it is, for the sake of posterity and workflow completion. Sunrise as it breaks through the treeline this Cold November Morning.
To all my dear Flickr Friends,
For always supporting me and my photographic efforts.
Thank you all once again.
I spotted this little love token left on one of the larger ornate old graves in the now disused cemetery at Hatfield Church.
