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.

Nothing arty about this but when you sniff out a potential Token exchange between Driver and Signaller it would surely be rude to let this Victorian ritual go unrecorded.
Catching me unawares DBS Shed 66151 has just come off the Fowey branch light-engine and is running "wrong line" at Lostwithiel. Luckily the driver had to retreat to the rear cab to find the Train Staff, no doubt left there from the journey out, and this gave me a few moments to get into position.
With hand-over complete, he moved off to the down loop beyond the box, before eventually making his way back to St. Blazey travelling as 0G07. Earlier birds my have snapped it working down to Fowey as the 09.00 ex-Parkandillack (6P24), so I'm guessing this was the last move for the driver before finishing his shift.

Funnily enough also captured 40 years ago, but with slightly more interesting traction .... www.flickr.com/photos/davidhayes/15347332778/

I've posted pictures of this horse before. I occasionally get lucky enough to take my granddaughter to her riding lessons. When I do, I bring my camera along, especially at this time of year when the lesson happens over golden hour.

Last week, I simply didn't get 'er done. I hate it when work gets in the way of fun.
Anyway, while not very artistic, creative or challenging, a self-portrait with an Alaskan flair to it...the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline. At Mile 8 of the Steese Highway, just north of Fairbanks, Alaska (taken Tuesday of this week).
Oh...this is Mile 450 of the 800 mile long pipeline.

The signalman takes the Great Rocks to Buxton token and retreats to his cabin to wait for the GBRF shed to run around its load of empties before passing back up the other side of the box.

The driver of 37051 with a Fort William-Mallaig service exchanges tokens at Glenfinnan on a wet day in May 1985. The loco, semaphore signals and steam heating have gone; but the railway, wet weather and occasional class 37 hauled trains remain.
Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) - male
Although I'm beconing satisfied with less as I get older I do expect a little more than Common Darter. Granted I had SBT the same day, but come on...
The weather has certainly taken its toll on populations and it will take a good long spell of decent sunshine to provide a late summer bloom.
Here's hoping...
I had the delight of watching my granddaughter in an equestrian competition. Before the event, I wandered the roads near the paddocks and got a few shots.
This is Token, and I decided to leverage the light on his mane to create the silhouette feel in Luminar4.
One of the few remaining Token working lines within NSW is the Braemar branch from Mittagong Junction to Braemar to service a Railway sleeper production plant. When large quantities of concrete sleepers are required trains run to pick them up. It takes 3 days to load an entire train, on day 1 of the operation DL43 sits at the head of 2M51N awaiting the end of their pre-departure checks with 8237 out of sight behind. The train would shortly depart for Moss Vale.
82 and DL class have been regulars on these for the past 3 or so cycles, the train usually runs once per month. This train then went up to the North Star branch to drop sleepers for construction of the new ARTC Heavy Haul Inland Rail line.

As Henschel steam locomotive leaves Alston station the driver exchanges section tokens with the signalman.
This picture is for the group Macro Mondays and this week the theme is "Zodiac".
These three arcade game tokens are a few of the ones that I saved from the early 1980's. I used to go to the arcade with friends when I was a young teenager. A few of us girls mostly went to meet boys! :)
I was never able to get a coin with my Zodiac sign.... Aries.

Ugh I just don't know how to pose male dollies in a more interesting way. D:
This month Token is already 4 years with me! And he's still my favourite boy. (♥ω♥ )
His head yellowed quite a bit though. :c
