In the previous photo I noted the Chicago "Y"-symbol (referring to the 3 branches of the Chicago River). That set off a recollection of the same symbol in old CTA tokens used before fare cards. I dug up one of the old tokens, and , there's the "Y" symbol (I think).
The showdown between the USS Monitor and the Merrimac took place on the James River at the Battle of Hampton Roads March 1862. It was arguably a turning point for naval warfare, ending the era of wooden military vessels.
I'm not someone that can take pictures of flowers too often, so this'll have to count as my token flower for the summer :)
My accidental collection of Japanese game tokens. Din't really set out to collect 'em, but here we are. Mouse over for notes. All from antique shows, flea markets, whatever. All the same size and finish - plated brass, I think. About the size of a US quarter. All smooth edges (not reeded). One says "Pachinko" right on it. One has a maneki neko.
I've been hoping to get a shot of this behavior - male Great Egret presenting nesting material to female.
The signalman has just exchanged the single line token with the driver of the 2C33 York-Leeds service at Cattal. The train is formed of one of Northern’s recently acquired Class 170’s, still in its former Scotrail livery.
The driver of 2C40 - Northern’s 0842 Carlisle to Barrow - swaps tokens with the St Bees signaller on 23 May 2016. The hoop (in the signaller’s right hand) on the St Bees to Sellafield token made it easy for the driver to collect it on the move but nowadays the train must stop and the signaller walk the length of the platform. Of course, prior to 1997 there was only a token to collect as there was no key from Bransty to deposit (seen in the signaller’s left hand).
Managed to sneakily get a few of these out of the Faile/Bast arcade.
They're arcade tokens designed by them for use on their comuter games.
The only place you can get them is at that arcade and as soon as the arcade closes in a few weeks they'll probably be worth a few quid, seeing as faile pieces normally sell for a lot of money
Anyways I got a couple to trade for something really cool if anyones interested
The crew of 'Dorothea' take the token for the return to Launceston. Newmills, Launceston Steam Railway, 12th October 2018.
Another from the first day of the West Somerset Railway Spring Steam Spectacular, the day proved to be a trying day for the volunteers and staff of the railway as lineside fires delayed services through the day. However, this presented an unforeseen photographic opportunity towards the end of the day with 45596 Bahamas running some 80" late arriving at Williton with a full maroon rake in gorgeous light.

We've used these glass tokens in various games over the years: Pente, Mancala, Magic The Gathering, etc. They remind me of the mysterious crystals from Land of the Lost.
The wife suggested I light it from underneath, because she's awesome.

The driver of an incoming service from Parkend hands over the single line token to the signalman at Lydney Junction,on the Dean Forest Railway.The train is formed by a preserved Class108 DMU,consisting of vehicles 56492 and 51914. Taken 22.3.14.
The driver of 66096 collects the token at Pantyfynnon signal box for its journey to Gwaen -Cae - Gurwen open cast coal mine on the 6B15 service, having originated at Swansea Burrows. The train will return loaded with coal for the wash processing plant facility at Onllwyn. Once processed, the coal will be shipped by rail to Aberthaw power station via Neath and Brecon Junction - www.flickr.com/photos/99220921@N03/12677445814/
I was really pleased to capture this rare working, which runs about two times a week, if that. By the time it appears on RTT, there is not enough time for me to make the journey to Pantyfynnon. To turn up on the chance that the working might run would be pretty risky. Today, however, the train went via Margam and was flagged up on RTT early on, which allowed me sufficient time to make the journey.
Pantyffynnon was the junction for the Brynamman branch along the Amman Valley, which was closed to passengers in 1958, well before the Beaching Act. Considerable coal traffic used the line (to the left) until the demise of coal mining in the valley. However, in 2009, the line was reopened for trains to Gwaun Cae Gurwen open cast coal mine, operated by Celtic Energy.

The driver of Northern Class 150 'Sprinter' No, 150269 has just exchanged the Kirkby - Rainham Junction single line token with the signalman at Rainham Junction signal box on 15th May 2017, prior to continuing with 2J64 1344 Kirkby - Blackburn. From here to Kirkby is essentially a long sidings as through services between Wigan and Liverpool ceased in 1977, and when Merseyrail electrified the line from Liverpool to Kirkby the station became an interchange point as the line was severed. Also, there is no junction at Rainford now, as once a triangular formation joined this line with one running from St. Helens to Ormskirk which would have crossed the present formation around the point of the background foot crossing. Services to St. Helens from Rainford Junction were withdrawn in 1951, while those to Ormsirk survived through to 1964. Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
