The driver of 66772 hands over the single line token from Buxton to the signalman at Great Rocks Junction.
Finally a group shot of my big ones!
There's just not enough room for such shots. But at least I have 2 daylight lamps and umbrellas now so I can shoot whenever I like (if I manage to position them in that tight space somehow).
My poor boys only have one whole outfit each. I don't even like Ki's much yet. But it's so hard to find boy stuff that isn't too modern looking and fits with what I have in mind for them. Well, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg that is... *sigh*
And I think I need a new wig for Ki. The bangs came out to short in the end.
Btw: I love when dollies hold hands. SO cute! x3

An image captured in the late afternoon at Doiwala, Uttarakhand, India in February 2012. Indian Railways WDM-2A Alco 16856 eases the SO 15:35 Dehradun to Muzaffarpur Junction Train 5002 towards the station.

A friend has a collection of these pieces of jewelry. I had not heard of them but often they contained pictures of the loved ones and a symbol of their branch of the armed services. Interesting!
6M11 slows on approach to St. Bees station.
The signalman has braved the elements and crossed the footbridge to the "up" platform.
With his left arm raised he holds aloft the token for the single-line section to Sellafield.
The driver of No.66569 will exchange it for the one he obtained from the token cupboard on Bransty station.
On the "down" platform the "Harrington Hump" is evident.
This is a custom-built modular system devised to elevate now under-height platforms to train door level and is ramped to facilitate access for the disabled.
Its name derives from the fact that the initial installation of a hump was on the "up" platform at Harrington, 4 stations down the line from St. Bees.

156464 slows to a stand at Midge Hall on 4th October 2022 with 2F47 1326 Preston to Ormskirk. The driver will collect the token as authority to proceed to Rufford where it will be surrendered to the signaller there and the train will continue to Ormskirk on the single line under One Train Working rules, again with another token.
It would be very unusual if a driver stopped or even slightly slowed for a token exchange in the days when I was at Rufford, and the act of giving and receiving the tokens for the two single lines was done at some speed!
This was something I saw taken to the extremes when travelling behind 37s on the West Highland Line in the early eighties, when some of the token handovers made our West Lancashire ones look positively pedestrian....
"The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt."
Exodus. 12:13
"kuinka paljoa enemmän on Kristuksen veri, hänen, joka iankaikkisen Hengen kautta uhrasi itsensä viattomana Jumalalle, puhdistava meidän omantuntomme kuolleista teoista palvelemaan elävää Jumalaa!"
"huru mycket mer skall icke Kristi blod -- då han nu genom evig ande har framburit sig själv såsom ett felfritt offer åt Gud -- rena våra samveten från döda gärningar till att tjäna den levande Guden!"
"how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Hebr. 9:14
