The signal man concludes his walk from the station master's office to hand over the ball token to the crew for occupying the section between Dudwa and Belraya.
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 ..
I'm never ready for fall to arrive. It seems to happen like a flip of a switch. For about 4 lovely weeks the air is crisp and the leaves turn from green to yellow to orange to red...and then it's just dark and rainy for 4 months.

Tock (also known as Tuck in some English parts of Quebec and Atlantic Canada, and Pock in some parts of Alberta) is a board game, similar to Ludo, Aggravation or Sorry!, in which players race their four tokens (or marbles) around the game board from start to finish—the objective being to be the first to take all of one's tokens "home". Like Sorry!, it is played with playing cards rather than dice.

Keezen is een Oud-Hollands bordspel voor minimaal 2 tot maximaal 8 personen.
Keezen kan worden omschreven als een combinatie van mens-erger-je-niet en pesten. Keezen heeft een hoog 'pestgehalte' en naast enig tactisch inzicht speelt ook geluk met de speelkaarten een belangrijke rol.
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.
"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!

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.
A simple thing, barely noticed but
full of such potential
Affection made solid, love in a talisman
A token, a gift, a promise.

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 ?
