I was in a mood to shoot small this morning, and when I was contemplating what to use as my subject du jour this was staring me in the face. My husband had given it to me, thinking that it was an old, leftover New York City Subway Token. Except that when I tried to look it up this morning, it didn't turn up in NYC token history. So I looked a little further, and established that the Metropolitan Transit Authority One Fare token was a pre-1964 token from Boston. We lived in Boston in the mid-80's, so this must have been leftover from that time. I guess they were the same size as the MBTA tokens that replaced them, and they must have remained in circulation until the time that Boston replaced tokens with Charlie Cards (like NYC's Metro Cards).
This is a re-shot of the subject, because I wan't happy with the detail in the earlier shot and wanted to try something different with it.
The scene at Daliganj Junction Station in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh where the 11:40 Aishbargh to Izzatnager Junction Passenger 52244 was about to continue its journey north. The token had just been delivered by the bicycle rider who was about to turn and head off back to the control room. YDM-4 6552 would soon head off for Sitapur Junction and beyond.

The Dean Forest Railway held their Diesel Gala during the weekend of 15 to 17 September 2017 and I was able to make a brief visit on the first day. The lure was to see and photograph the visiting Clayton Type 1, but I also have an affinity with Class 31s, and the EWS livery of 31466 looks quite striking. The 31 has slowed to hand the token over whilst working the 14.00 Lydney Junction to Parkend and has but a few yards to reach its destination.

Rainford Junctions signalman receives the token, for the single line section to Kirkby, from the driver of 142 051 as it draws towards Rainford station working 2J62 to Blackburn.
Pantyfynnon South Signal Box in Carmarthenshire, is a GWR box of GWS design that dates back to 1892 when it had 49 levers. It is a Grade II listed building and clearly has been looked after judging by its current condition. The box controls the entire length of the Heart of Wales line up to Craven Arms in Shropshire using a "No-Signalman Token Remote" signalling system developed in the 1980s to reduce running costs on lightly used single track railways in rural areas. It also allows single freight train access along the Amman Valley Branch. The line was reopened in 2009 for coal trains running to Gwaun Cae Gurwen open cast coal mine (East Pit) run by Celtic Energy. I am told the signal box will remain in service until 2020.

If any of you here grew up in Montreal, Quebec, you may remember these bridge tokens. The one on the left was used for the Champlain and Jacques Cartier Bridges. The one on the left was for the Champlain Bridge only. Not sure when they removed the tolls, but I have about a half dozen tokens left over from our commutes into the city from the south shore.

TheBus' origin was The Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Company, which operated buses and trolley lines mostly in the Honolulu district, while most outlying areas were serviced by competing bus companies. Honolulu Rapid Transit (HRT) was founded on June 6, 1898, the same day that Hawaii was annexed by the United States. HRT started streetcar operations in Honolulu in 1901. HRT operated streetcars from 1901–1941, motor buses continually from 1925 onward, and trolley buses from 1937-1957. Various issues caused its failure, including a series of strikes by union workers and reports of a hostile takeover of the company by its new owner Harry Weinberg in 1955,
