Rothley Station Great Central Railway (GCR), Leicestershire - pictured here at 10.45am on Saturday 23rd October 2021, is the point (where behind me) the 4 mile double track Main Line from Loughborough Central becomes single track for the remaining 4 miles to Leicester North.
Britain in the 19th Century, developed a 'Token System' to enable safe single line working. They come in various forms: staff (as shown in the hand of the platform railwayman), tablet, key and ball.
On the left BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0 73156 has just returned from Leicester North. Upon arrival the Driver handed over his single section token which is about to be replaced in 'Grey Cabinet', before a different token can be removed and given to the Driver of the awaiting BR Class 45 Diesel D123 Leicestershire and Derbyshire Yeomanry so it too can safely depart to Leicester North. Within the grey box this procedure triggers a series of 'Electrical Impulses' via a series of relays to the nearby Signal Box - alerting the signalman so the signals and points can be safely and correctly set.
Because the tokens have different configurations, by this means it ensures that at any one time only one and the correct token is available to be issued to the Driver.
Coincidentally, Friday 22nd October 2021 saw D123 celebrate its 60th Anniversary - being built at Crewe works in 1961. It was withdrawn from service in 1987 and arrived at GCR in 1998.
Mindful the UK is now seeing a rapid resurgence in COVID variant outbreaks and many areas in the North are experiencing severe weather and flooding this week, I very much hope you are all still keeping safe and well.
Happy Fence Friday everyone. Have a great weekend too!

The Great Central Railway in Leicestershire was due to hold a 'First Hurrah' Event this weekend with four steam engines operating, a different diesel locomotive on a freight train each day and a diesel unit on the Mountsorrel Branch - but because of present restrictions it had to be postponed.
This first series shows the motive power to have been used today.

Locomotive History
D123 was built at Crewe Works and entered traffic in November 1961. Like most of the class, it was initially allocated to Derby, where it worked express trains on the Cross Country and the Midland Main Line routes. The engine was allocated close to the Midland Main Line all its life although its last six months in traffic were based at Tinsley in Sheffield for Trans-Pennine services, after the introduction of HSTs to the Midland route. In 1974 the engine became one of the fifty engines in the class to be fitted with electric heating, and it became 45125. It was withdrawn on 7th May 1987, and was towed for storage at March on the 20th May 1987. The engine was stored with a number of others for four years before purchase for preservation. It was towed to Hull Dairycoates depot in late 1991, where it stayed for the next seven years until D123 moved to Loughborough, arriving on April 2nd 1998.
Rostered on Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48305 our turn began at 05.15 and consisted of engine prep, 2 return trips to Leicester top & tailed with Peak D123 & hand over to our relief on the station platform.
After handover we all ran to the water tank where we said our farewells - the relief crew took water & I took this shot.
