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....

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.
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.

Token got a new face-up! :D
He looks even more girly now... But isn't he pretty??? I especially love the eyes! °3°
Also, he finally got a decent wig in the right colour and eyes that don't gap like hell! Now, after a whole year (this month was his "bday"), he's finally complete! Weee~ \^0^/
Face-up is by the wonderful Smaug on DoA.
