The signal man bringing in the token for the train to occupy the section between Dudwa and Belraya.

Macro Mondays - 5 letters

The signal man concludes his walk from the station master's office to hand over the ball token to the crew for occupying the section between Dudwa and Belraya.

Isle of Wight Steam Railway.

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 train crews.

Signalman comes onto the track to collect the token , knowing that the single track from Ramsbottom to Rawtenstall is now free for the train waiting in the station to proceed up the line in safety ..

This is small triangular token from the board game Vindication.

Walking the Token for the way back

It was an amazing experience to witness these flock of birds flying with twist and turns around the Sun. This shot is a token of many beautiful memories during my visit to Delhi, India.

It was realized later that they all have similar white pattern patch on them, quite unusual. If anyone know about it then please do let me know about it, would appreciate it.

Certain events, elements or signs / should not be seen as token, or an omen. // Here, the photographer saw stones, and a weathered sellery.

The signal man at Risia battles the shivering morning cold to deliver the token to our train's crew for occupying the section towards Matera.

Two images from March last year around the Buxton area. One of the first of local visits to this area last year.

The 17.27 SHREWSBURY - SWANSEA passing the token to the signal man, at Pantyffynnon box.

This is a location that has been on my list of places to visit for such a long time. It is a time capsule with a manned level crossing, a signal box, lots of delicious lower quadrant semaphores, lots of track work and dolly signals not to mention the beautiful station.

Pantyffynnon is on the Swansea to Shrewsbury line and is a gem.

In days gone by it was the junction for the line to Betws, Gwauncaegurwen and Abernant collieries which can be seen leaving the main line to the left.

153320 is dropping off the token before heading to Swansea with the 1009 from Shrewsbury.

Pantyffynnon is a bit restricted with camera angles, the primary shot tends to chose itself taken from the end of the platform. Still a great view though.

"Co-op society token"

These little discs were dividend tokens with a monetary value stamped on them, usually made from tinned iron or zinc, this particular token is a very early one made from tinned iron I should image!

These were introduced in the mid 19 th century, although my token is probably a 20 th century one.

These were given to customers for being loyal to the shop and could be redeemed quarterly for cash or goods to the value of tokens you may of amassed over the months shopping at the Co-op.

A very small token with a diameter of only 23 mm, also a very light token.

1d was one penny in pre-decimal currency where 240 pennies equalled one English pound.

Those were the days 😂

Popped the token on the top of a fresh bunch of daffodils to give a nice natural background colour to offset the industrial look of the token.

Well what's the use of golden plunder when you can have Co-op tokens asunder, cash them in four times a year to buy fags, crisps and beer, or save em' up for festive cheer, lot's of dosh cuz Christmas dear.

Then it's Ho' ho' ho' and dancing queer, good old Co-op it's fab no fear!

GWR-inspired Mogul 9351 has just arrived at Highley, Severn Valley Railway and the signalman has walked up to exchange the single line token so the train can continue to Arley.

9351 was originally built in 1934 as 2-6-2T engine 5193 and ran til withdrawal in 1962.

It remained at Barry Scrapyard until 1979 when it was saved for preservation and moved to Steamport at Southport. Closure of the centre led to the loco being sold and moved, still unrestored, to the West Somerset Railway in 1998.

Inspection of the loco revealed severe corrosion of the tanks, bunker and rear frames. As all would need to be replaced, the WSR decided to convert the loco to 2-6-0 tender locomotive resembling a class of locos proposed by the GWR but never built. The design was used it was better suited to the needs of the WSR and saved on a complicated restoration job.

The loco would originally have looked like classmate 4144, seen here:

On 15 April 1991, on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation, the Right Worshipful the Lord Mayer of Westminster, Councillor David Avery named this area 'Swiss Court' as a token of the lasting friendship between Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Spent a couple of hours at Carters Steam Fair in Cobham, Surrey this weekend, it was fun :)

EDIT: Thank you very much for all the likes and comments, I appreciate them all. It was a nice surprise to have this explored this morning!
