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.

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.

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.

Suan Luang Rama IX Park , a new and sizable metropolitan public park, was born out of the aspirations and fervent desire of a group of His Majesty the King's loyal subjects to create and dedicate a park as a token of homage and honor to His Majesty on the occasion of His Sixtieth Birthday Anniversary in the year B.C. 2530 (A.D.1987), with the fullest co-operation of the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority.
Suan Luang Rama IX Park is divided into six areas.
1. Homage to His Majesty- The first and foremost of which is called Uthayan Maharaj (literally, "Garden of the Great King") to symbolize the Sovereign' Grace and Majesty.
2. The Botanical Garden- Area Two is a botanical garden dedicated to the propagation of knowledge, collection of and research on the various types of flora.
3. The Reservoir - Area Three, named Traphang Keo, is a reservoir in line with the flood-prevention project inspired by His Majesty the King, which is the foremost of subsequent water projects.
4. Rommaniya Garden - Area Four comprises an open garden where Thailand's natural heritage, including its mountains and geological features, is represented in miniature for visitors to the Park.
5. The Sanam Rasdara - Area Five, named Sanam Rasdara, is a wide open field intended for use for various types of entertainment of festive occasions. Sanam Rasdara (literlly, "Royal Ground"), fittingly symbolizes the affinity between Luang ("Royal") and Rasdara ("people")
6. The Water Garden- Area Six is a garden in the form of mixed jungle and marshlands, providing the life-sustaining habitat for fish, water- fowl and multifarious aquatic plants.

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

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.

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!
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!!
