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.
The locomotive crew were in the process of collecting [right] and dropping [left] the respective section tokens while a member of the station staff waits on the ballast next to the passing loop to pick up the surrendered token.
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.

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.
These were issued in the 1930's to be used for sales tax amounts under 1 cent. Not something ever seen in 2024!
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 2H62 11:20 Wick [11:22 ex-Thurso] ScotRail service to Inverness is eased into the Up platform loop at Muir of Ord. The tokens were being exchanged that would enable 37417 'Highland Region' to continue its journey south with this Sunday service.

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.
Local liquor laws often necessitate selling tickets or tokens for tasty liquid refreshment, and this industrial show decided to use toy dinosaurs for that. One of mine was this velociraptor!
Offside is my skinny pal Rozlyn, freshly healed from a broken neck - darn overconfident tradesmen. While we persuaded several other t-girls to show up, and photos abounded on other social media, most made me look even more homely than usual.😉 Especially given the two guitarists-with-hot-bodies, the now-elegant, now-femme dobro player from our days with the Melody Maulers, and two very pretty, younger enby kids who already had self-expression down - great makeup, bad hair and "interesting" fashion sense. All obviously had good taste in music!
Les lois locales sur les boissons alcoolisées exigent souvent la vente de billets ou de jetons pour l'alcool, et ce salon industriel a décidé d'utiliser des dinosaures jouets pour cela. L'un des miens était ce vélociraptor!
Hors-jeu est mon copain maigre Rozlyn, fraîchement guéri d'une fracture du cou, sacrément commerçants trop confiants. Alors que nous avons persuadé des autres travvies de se présenter et que les photos abondaient sur d'autres médias sociaux, la plupart me donnaient l'air encore plus simple que d'habitude.😉 Surtout compte tenu des deux guitaristes aux corps chauds, de la joueuse de dobro désormais élégante et désormais femme de nos jours avec les Melody Maulers, et de deux très jolies et jeunes personnes non binaires qui avaient déjà perdu leur expression - super maquillage, mauvais cheveux et sens de la mode "intéressant". Tous avaient manifestement bon goût en musique !

The fireman of Merddin Emrys exchanges short section tokens with the signalman at Rhiw Goch during the Ffestiniog Railways Victorian weekend.
Something of a rarity is the sight of a token exchange involving a High Speed Train, but on each summer Saturday this occurs on four occasions at Whitland, Carmarthenshire.
This example features 1L90, the 14.55 (SO) Pembroke Dock to Paddington, on 23 June 2018, the train had just come off the Pembroke Dock branch behind the photographer, the driver giving-up the token to the signalman before the working continues its journey to the capital.

"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
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.
Pilot Gordon Fullerton, wearing communications kit assembly mini headset, uses hygiene kit hair brush on aft middeck during Shuttle mission STS-3.

I was flattered when reception staff at my swimming pool found this token and saved it for me !
"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer."

Kent & East Sussex (preserved) Railway. At least the signal box and level crossing gates are upright! Olde worlde charm!
