The driver of 60015 exchanges tokens with the signaller at Great Rocks Jcn.
The 60 has worked from Dowlow to Buxton and then reversed to traverse the former Midland line through to Great Rocks. With the reversal, token exchange and a driver change at Peak Forest, it is possible to photograph this working several times in the Buxton area before it disappears into Doveholes tunnel and heads off towards Ashburys on the outskirts of Manchester.

A local flickr friend told me of a Great Blue Heron rookery she had seen in Walla Walla, WA. I went there yesterday afternoon and this morning. It was a little overcast yesterday but today the sun was out. This was my first picture this morning and boy was I pleased! There were three nests in the tree. In two of the nests there was a bird, but for some reason these two were beneath the third of the nests.
My father was never one for material possessions, so after his death there were not many personal belongings to sort out. In a small box in his bedside cabinet I found a couple of miners pit tallies (or tokens as they are sometimes called) from his early days when he worked as a miner.
I found someone who could mount them onto key fobs and the image shown here is one of the two. When I carry the keys, it's a small way of having a little bit of him with me.
A TOKEN is the topic for Monday 14th October 2019
When my daughter was in the Seabee"s she gave me this token, very proud of all she has done in her life.
The driver of 66115 collects the token at Pantyffynnon signal box for its journey on the line to the left to Gwaen Cae Gurwen open cast coal mine on the 6B15 from Swansea Burrows. The train will return to Swansea Burrows loaded with anthracite and another train will transport the coal to Onllwyn for washing and blending. The processed coal is currently dispatched from Onllwyn to Scunthorpe steel works on Mondays by Freightliner and to Immingham on Thursdays by DBS for smokeless fuel consumption.
Pantyffynnon was the junction for the Brynamman branch along the Amman Valley, which was closed to passengers in 1958, well before the Beaching Act. Considerable coal traffic used the line (to the left) until the demise of coal mining in the valley. However, in 2009 after many years without trains, the line was reopened to Gwaun Cae Gurwen open cast coal mine, operated by Celtic Energy.

September days are here,
With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer."

A variety of New York City transit tokens, along with an Italian telephone token. Every time the subway fare was raised, it was a guessing game whether the MTA would issue a new token or not. Sometimes they did, sometimes not.
In railway signaling, a token is a physical object that a train driver must have or see before entering a specific section of track. The token is usually marked with the name of the section it belongs to
Caught out of position for the 170 minute early running 12.55 Briggs Steetley - Ashburys (6H52) aggregates off Dowlow I settled for this shot of the Driver handing the token to the Bobby at Great Rocks Junction box - recorded for posterity an everyday occurence for now, but who knows how long it will last.
The loco is DBS Shed 66109 and the token being deposited covers the single line section from Buxton.

According to the IRFCA Locomotive data base, this Gonda [GD] allocated Alco unit was rebuilt at DLMW, Patiala in 2016 and re-classified as WDM-3A. It was listed as still in service in early 2022 having been transferred to Izzatnagar [IZN] shed.
