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.

I was flattered when reception staff at my swimming pool found this token and saved it for me !
Remember the iconic scene of Eddie Murphy cruising down Rodeo Drive in "Beverly Hills Cop?" Well, here is my Hawaii perspective of that famous scene. Enjoy!
Or so it seems. I watched a pair of BC Nigh Herons perched in one of the trees on the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary grounds - he kept offering the stick to the female, who kept turning her back on him. I think she wanted a better stick, perhaps. There are probably 20 pairs of wild BCNH nesting on the sanctuary grounds right now.

92212 Receiving the token at Ropley on the Watercress line.
In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a locomotive driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the name of the section it belongs to. A token system is used for single lines because of the very much greater risk of serious collision in the event of irregular working by signalmen or traincrews, than on double lines.
The signaller heads down the stairs in the afternoon autumnal sun to collect the token as 170204 approaches the 1884 built Tondu signal box with 2L54 1315 Maesteg to Cardiff box on Friday 18th November 2022.
What a great place this must have been 40 or so years ago when 4 wheeled mineral wagons were the mainstay of the traffic hauled by Canton 37s.

A scene captured on a Saturday morning in June 1986 at Westbury, Shropshire as the token exchange is completed. Class 128 Gloucester RC&W DMPMV parcels unit 55994 was working the 5J02 06:35 Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury.
Westbury railway station was opened in 1862 and closed in in September 1960. The passing loop and signal box remained in use, the latter controlling the gated level crossing on the B4387. The introduction of Radio Electronic Token Block signalling on the route saw all manual signal boxes closed in 1988 with control passing to the signalling centre at Machynlleth.
The former station building visible on the right is now a private residence.
The signalman at Dunragit offers up the token to the driver of Class 47/4 47471 'Norman Tunna G.C.' as he heads away from Stranraer at the controls of the 11:00 Inter-City departure to London Euston.

Signalman and railway author Adrian Vaughan is seen exchanging tokens with the crew of BR standard class 4 loco, 76084, at Weybourne on the North Norfolk Railway. Although the light was pretty rotten on my visit, I had enjoyable few hours chatting to Adrian and drinking his tea.

It is a rare sight nowadays to witness a token exchange. The driver of 59104 'Village of Great Elm', hands over the token to the signalman at Park Junction, Newport, having just completed the single-track journey from Machen with crushed stone destined for West Drayton on the 6A83 service. The strange metal box next to the car is to protect the signal man’s car from youths hurling stones.
Park Junction Signal Box in Newport is a GWR box that dates back to 1885, built by McKenzie & Holland with both lever frame and panel for signalling. There were 100 recorded levers in 1920. This splendid signal box, though somewhat dilapidated, appears to have quite a few of its original features. I am not sure if this little gem has achieved grade II listed status, but according to my research it is scheduled to be decommissioned sometime this year as a result of all signalling in South Wales ultimately being controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff. Note – reprocessed image.
The token is passed to a westbound train at Bewdley, UK. The token allows movement of this train to the next signal box.
So yes I am in my mid 20's and yes I LOVE Pokemon! For Christmas, I was lukcy enough to get the special Pokemon Kanto edition of Monopoly which I really wanted and had a lot of fun playing Christmas night after dinner.
These are the tokens which replace the usual ones in the standard editions of monopoly. I was originally going to do a 1:1 macro shot of each individual token but i liked this set up better. For any Pokemon fans, definitely go out and get the Pokemon Monopoly, you won't regret it!
