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.
With the token ready for pick-up, Hunslett Austerity 0-6-0ST 'Sapper' departs from Ramsbottom with the 1535 bound for Rawtenstall on 19 May 2013.
These were issued in the 1930's to be used for sales tax amounts under 1 cent. Not something ever seen in 2024!
"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
There's currently a vote going on to retire a Monopoly token and introduce a new token.
Here's the token lineup from the standard 1960's-era Monopoly set: the iron, battleship, thimble, cannon, racecar (#3), top hat, shoe, and Scottie dog.
go back 50 pictures in my photostream to see the aluminum, parade throw version of this Mardi Gras token. These brass tokens were given out as party favors.

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....

Which is the most meaningful "token of love" on Valentines Day ... a carefully selected and presented dandelion or an expensive bunch of red roses?
"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer."

Wikipedia: "In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a train driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the names of the section to which it belongs. A token system is more commonly used for single lines because of the greater risk of collision in the event of a mistake being made by a signaller or traincrew than on double lines."

An opportunity was almost missed on Wednesday due to a non updated T.O.P.S list.
At 7.30am 37401 & 37409 were showing "Under Genius Control" as they were the previous day.
I was at my father-in-law's during the morning and there's no mobile phone reception at his gaff and so it wasn't until lunchtime that I discovered, through gen' sites, that 37402 had replaced 409 on the first southbound out of Carlisle that morning.
This meant that for the first time since inception both Cumbrian coast loco-hauled diagrams were sporting a large logo Tractor.
A plan was immediately formulated to attempt a shot of the two passing at St. Bees.
The 14.37 BIF - CAR was first to arrive and here the driver of its loco, 37402, is seen handing the token for the Sellafield single line section to the St. Bees signalwoman.
37037 exchanges tokens with the signalman at Arrochar & Tarbet on 2nd August 1982.
The train was the 1634 Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig which was taken to Rannoch for 37014 back to Glasgow.
I saw a few of these token exchanges on the WHL and they were carried out at some speed! The rules of course now instruct drivers to stop and obtain the token. Tokens became a thing of the past in March 1988 when the new signalling centre at Banavie took control with radio signalling.
The loco was renumbered to 37321 in 1986 and then again back to its original number 37037 in 1989.
It spent a year in France from 1999-2000 and was stored at Wigan upon its return before being purchased for preservation in 2004.

The fireman of Beyer Peacock Garratt 0-4-4-0T 'K1' (Wks No 5292 of 1909) exchanges the token with the signalman at Cogan Halt.

On Sunday I had the pleasure of shooting at my first Flickr friend's wedding. It was supposed to rain, but we were blessed with partly cloudy conditions for the outdoor service.
Congrats again Jeff and Meghan!
The crews of Port Erin and Douglas-bound services prepare to exchange the single-line tokens at Ballasalla station on a wet 24th October 2014. The manned station at Ballasalla was the usual crossing point for trains. However, this scene would within days pass into the history books for, from the start of the 2015 season's timetable, service trains would thereafter cross at Castletown. Ballasalla station's up loop was locked out of use except for use by maintenance trains, and from the end of the 2015 timetable the station became unmanned by a permanent paid staff member.
