I used the $36 weekly pass while in Toronto, and thus have no experience with tokens here. Please note advertising on the turnstile and on the ticket vending station. This is an important source of revenue for the TTC, and helps boost the farebox recovery ratio to over 70%.
To replace the – 40 year old and never serviced – bottom bracket on the Gent’s Touring I got this new one made by Token.
I measured 127 mm on the old spindle, but since it was asymmetrical and I had some room to spare on both sides I bought this 122.5 mm long version.
The old bottom bracket weighed about. 380 gramm, this new one (with Carbon!) just under 260. Almost a third lighter!

In Single Line Section where there is only one set of tracks for up and down trains,all trains have to take a token to proceed further,it is a sigh that "Yes you can Enter Now,the track is clear and you have the Authority".

Member of railway staff exchanging 'tokens' with the engine driver on arrival at Highley Station, Shropshire, UK.
Tokens are a simple 19th century idea so no two trains can be on a section of single track at any one given time, hence avoiding any collisions.

The man on horseback is no longer part of the classic game.
I created this little rose design in the spirit of victorian love tokens for a papercutting workshop this weekend at Wing & Clover in Rhinebeck, NY: wingandclover.com.
The center opens up to a little space for a secret sentiment.

Patriotic Civil War Token
This patriotic token was meant to remind voters that fate of the nation depended upon the re-election of President Lincoln in the fall elections.
These old tokens, also known as bar chips are from a now closed bar which was located in Larksville, PA.
Such chips were given when one patron wanted to buy another one a drink. Different shapes, and/or colors determined what type of drink was to be given.
Many bars had such tokens, but now with contemporary registers, paper slips are printed, usually with the value and date printed on it. This is designed to keep customers from trying to get a higher priced drink with a lower valued chip. And they are dated so that they must be used on the date issued.
These colorful and nostalgic collectibles have a good following of collectors.
This is how the token exchange is done during the night time. This one was speeding at nearly 80 kmph
1) The khalasi lights a 'Mashal' and holds up in the right hand
2) The LP honks and acknowledges from far off
3) The khalasi then holds up the token ring in the left hand
4) The LP switches the headlights off to enable the assistant to sight the token ring next to the fire
5) voila, before you can say 'token', the token ring is collected by the assistant
All in all an exciting visual

The new TTC tokens are slightly fatter than the old ones -- and thus more difficult to insert into ye olde token holder. Damn you TTC!

The Branch Line Society along with TransPennine Express, ran the 'Class 170 Farewell Tracker' from Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes using a trio of Class 170/3 units, 170307, 170306 and 170303, which took in a number of loops and sidings along the way and a visit to Buxton. seen here picking up the token for the single track section to Buxton, along the freight only line past the Tunstead Quarry complex,
The tour would soon come back this way enroute to Sheffield and onwards to Cleethorpes.
After nearly 10 years working for TransPennine having come from South West Trains all nine of these units will be very soon moving on to Chiltern Railways.

Monopoly is derived from the Landlord's Game, a board game designed and patented by Lizzie G. Magie in 1904. She revised and renewed the patent on her game in 1924. The version Magie originated did not involve the concept of a monopoly.
In fact, the rules to the game had been invented in Washington DC in 1903 by a bold, progressive woman named Elizabeth Magie. But her place in the game's folk history was lost for decades and ceded to the man who had picked it up at his friend's house: Charles Darrow
