Another slide from the batch I scanned for the first time a few weeks ago.
Seen here leaving Oban with the 5.45pm service to Glasgow Queen Street are BRC&W units 27003 and, all but hidden by the mucky exhaust, 27043.
I chose a composition to capture the token exchange and, given it was a one-shot opportunity, it looks like the reflexes at the start of my 3rd decade were in fine working order. I can say for sure that they've deteriorated since - along with a few other functions.
A pity the weather was overcast when I took the shot, yet ironically had improved by the time I got down to the harbour later in the evening where a nice sunset was going on.

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 ..
The driver of 9F 92214, passing through Rothley non-stop, hands back the token having left the single track section from Leicester North

Don't allow tokens of engagement to obscure what's most important

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!

With the rain approaching, the driver and signalman exchange the token allowing Class 150 No.150264 to proceed forward with the 2G62 Maesteg to Cheltenham Spa . Tondu 11-09-24.
A simple thing, barely noticed but
full of such potential
Affection made solid, love in a talisman
A token, a gift, a promise.

The driver gets ready to collect the Token off the station guard.
For those that don't know ? There is a Token system when trains travel on sections of one line tracks, to make certain that there can never be an other train on the same section of track. When the driver gets to the next station he will give up the Token for the train going in the opposite direction, and so on up and down the line.
Look at it large to see what I mean ?
Class 37 D6729 arrives at Ongar with a train from North Weald, during the Epping Ongar Railway's Diesel Gala last Sunday.
The Highley signalman and driver of D1062 prepare to exchange single line tokens. The railway's Class 108 DMU waits in the sidings for its next service.
This week's Saturday Timewatch shows the old token system that was used to ensure only one train was on a stretch of single track at the same time. Look closely and you can see the crewman holding a circular metal ring that will be taken by another staff member on the station platform as the locomotive passes. The token, with a specific geographical name on it, is a unique item to that particular stretch of track that the train has just travelled along. So once the token is safely handed over it will then be conveyed to the train waiting on the other platform so that it can then proceed from the station.
The photo was taken on he Swanage Railway heritage line. However, I clearly remember the use of manual tokens along the Cambrian Coast line before an electronic system was introduced. From memory, I think that was sometime in the late 1980s.
