A thought struck me today, as I was stuck in traffic in Snowdonia and looking for a different route. I hadn't remembered to take a self portrait for this week's topic in '52 Themes 2009'. So, purely so as not to miss a week, I took a shot of myself there and then.
Now, what's the next topic? - must be more organised ...

Swapping "tokens" on the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway at Winchcombe Station.
The token (or staff) is a vital safety device handed by the signalman to the driver or fireman of a train entering a single-track line. The token carries a lock and the signalling equipment at the opposite end of the single track line cannot be operated without it. This ensures another train cannot enter the single track section in the opposite direction. The driver hands the staff or token to the signalman when he reaches the end of the single track section and collects the staff for the next section.
