Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a locomotive driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the name of the section it belongs to. A token system is used for single lines because of the very much greater risk of serious collision in the event of irregular working by signalmen or train crews.
Signalman comes onto the track to collect the token , knowing that the single track from Ramsbottom to Rawtenstall is now free for the train waiting in the station to proceed up the line in safety ..
The driver of 9F 92214, passing through Rothley non-stop, hands back the token having left the single track section from Leicester North

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada
The original Bluenose was launched as a Grand Banks fishing and racing schooner on 26 March 1921 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It was designed by William Roué and built by the Smith and Rhuland Shipyard.
Bluenose Captain Angus Walters and the builders who crafted the sleek vessel had something to prove. Their sights were set on the International Fishermen's Race. For a working fishing schooner, speed was a tremendous asset. Those who made it to port first fetched the best price for their catch. The Fishermen's Race was no token competition for privileged yachts. It was a real race for the hard-working vessels of fishermen who made their living on the sea. Nova Scotia's pride and shipbuilding reputation sailed with Bluenose.
From the moment Bluenose took to the sea, it was evident she was a vessel unlike any other. When she took home her first Fishermen's Trophy in October of 1921, the legend began. During the next 17 years, no challenger — American or Canadian — could wrest the trophy from Bluenose. She earned the title "Queen of the North Atlantic" and was well on her way to becoming a Canadian icon.
Bluenose came to symbolize Nova Scotia's prominence in the fishing and shipbuilding industries. She represented Canada around the world. In 1933, Bluenose appeared at the Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, and sailed to England's Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935.
The majestic image of the Bluenose has adorned the Canadian dime since 1937 and three postage stamps, as well as the Nova Scotia license plate.
Bluenose II - The legend reborn
Bluenose struck a reef off Isle aux Vache, Haiti on 28 January 1946. Despite the loss, the legacy and admiration for the once mighty schooner lived on in the hearts and minds of Canadians — especially Nova Scotians.
In 1963, Bluenose II was launched. It was built by many of the same people who had worked on the original vessel at the same shipyard in Lunenburg. The project was financed by Oland Brewery to advertise their products, while also promoting Nova Scotia's maritime heritage and tourism. William Roué, the designer of the original Bluenose, endorsed the vessel. Captain Walters sailed on the maiden voyage.
Bluenose II was gifted to the Government of Nova Scotia in 1971. It continues to serve as Nova Scotia's sailing ambassador — an enduring symbol of the province — living history under sail.
"Co-op society token"
These little discs were dividend tokens with a monetary value stamped on them, usually made from tinned iron or zinc, this particular token is a very early one made from tinned iron I should image!
These were introduced in the mid 19 th century, although my token is probably a 20 th century one.
These were given to customers for being loyal to the shop and could be redeemed quarterly for cash or goods to the value of tokens you may of amassed over the months shopping at the Co-op.
A very small token with a diameter of only 23 mm, also a very light token.
1d was one penny in pre-decimal currency where 240 pennies equalled one English pound.
Those were the days 😂
Popped the token on the top of a fresh bunch of daffodils to give a nice natural background colour to offset the industrial look of the token.
Well what's the use of golden plunder when you can have Co-op tokens asunder, cash them in four times a year to buy fags, crisps and beer, or save em' up for festive cheer, lot's of dosh cuz Christmas dear.
Then it's Ho' ho' ho' and dancing queer, good old Co-op it's fab no fear!

This is a location that has been on my list of places to visit for such a long time. It is a time capsule with a manned level crossing, a signal box, lots of delicious lower quadrant semaphores, lots of track work and dolly signals not to mention the beautiful station.
Pantyffynnon is on the Swansea to Shrewsbury line and is a gem.
In days gone by it was the junction for the line to Betws, Gwauncaegurwen and Abernant collieries which can be seen leaving the main line to the left.
153320 is dropping off the token before heading to Swansea with the 1009 from Shrewsbury.
Pantyffynnon is a bit restricted with camera angles, the primary shot tends to chose itself taken from the end of the platform. Still a great view though.

With the rain approaching, the driver and signalman exchange the token allowing Class 150 No.150264 to proceed forward with the 2G62 Maesteg to Cheltenham Spa . Tondu 11-09-24.
GWR-inspired Mogul 9351 has just arrived at Highley, Severn Valley Railway and the signalman has walked up to exchange the single line token so the train can continue to Arley.
9351 was originally built in 1934 as 2-6-2T engine 5193 and ran til withdrawal in 1962.
It remained at Barry Scrapyard until 1979 when it was saved for preservation and moved to Steamport at Southport. Closure of the centre led to the loco being sold and moved, still unrestored, to the West Somerset Railway in 1998.
Inspection of the loco revealed severe corrosion of the tanks, bunker and rear frames. As all would need to be replaced, the WSR decided to convert the loco to 2-6-0 tender locomotive resembling a class of locos proposed by the GWR but never built. The design was used it was better suited to the needs of the WSR and saved on a complicated restoration job.
The loco would originally have looked like classmate 4144, seen here:
9351 entered service in 2004 and visited the Severn Valley Railway for the 2022 Autumn Steam Gala.
80151 arrives into Kingscote with a train from East Grinstead, the signalman receiving the section token from the locomotive crew. Friday 29th July, Bluebell Terrier Gala.
My EDC (every day carry) is a trolley token - they generally have quite a simple design, quite often sold in aid of a charity. They are the same shape and size as a pound coin, allowing you to easily put them into the coin slot on standard supermarket trolleys.
I bought mine from the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) shop about 5 years ago and as you can see, it is used often - I got fed up with going to food shop and not having the correct coin in my purse!!

Spent a couple of hours at Carters Steam Fair in Cobham, Surrey this weekend, it was fun :)
EDIT: Thank you very much for all the likes and comments, I appreciate them all. It was a nice surprise to have this explored this morning!
Class 37 D6729 arrives at Ongar with a train from North Weald, during the Epping Ongar Railway's Diesel Gala last Sunday.
This week's Saturday Timewatch shows the old token system that was used to ensure only one train was on a stretch of single track at the same time. Look closely and you can see the crewman holding a circular metal ring that will be taken by another staff member on the station platform as the locomotive passes. The token, with a specific geographical name on it, is a unique item to that particular stretch of track that the train has just travelled along. So once the token is safely handed over it will then be conveyed to the train waiting on the other platform so that it can then proceed from the station.
The photo was taken on he Swanage Railway heritage line. However, I clearly remember the use of manual tokens along the Cambrian Coast line before an electronic system was introduced. From memory, I think that was sometime in the late 1980s.
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.
Tokens have existed in a variety of physical forms: staff, tablet, key, and ball
The driver gets ready to collect the Token off the station guard.
For those that don't know ? There is a Token system when trains travel on sections of one line tracks, to make certain that there can never be an other train on the same section of track. When the driver gets to the next station he will give up the Token for the train going in the opposite direction, and so on up and down the line.
Look at it large to see what I mean ?

The fireman and signalman exchange the token as SR Maunsell S15 2-6-0 No 825 prepares to leave Levisham with a train for Grosmont.
"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer."

Ken Faulkner, the duty signalman at Leek Brook Junction prepares to release the token for the Leek Line to the driver of BR 20070 [paired with 20026] in February 1985. The 26 loaded sand hoppers [HJV & HKV] had been collected earlier from Oakamoor at the end of the Churnet Valley Line and were on their way via Toton to Worksop.
