In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a train driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the names of the section to which it belongs. A token system is more commonly used for single lines because of the greater risk of collision in the event of a mistake being made by a signaller or traincrew, than on double lines.
Tokens have existed in a variety of physical forms: staff, tablet, key, and ball

Nothing arty about this but when you sniff out a potential Token exchange between Driver and Signaller it would surely be rude to let this Victorian ritual go unrecorded.
Catching me unawares DBS Shed 66151 has just come off the Fowey branch light-engine and is running "wrong line" at Lostwithiel. Luckily the driver had to retreat to the rear cab to find the Train Staff, no doubt left there from the journey out, and this gave me a few moments to get into position.
With hand-over complete, he moved off to the down loop beyond the box, before eventually making his way back to St. Blazey travelling as 0G07. Earlier birds my have snapped it working down to Fowey as the 09.00 ex-Parkandillack (6P24), so I'm guessing this was the last move for the driver before finishing his shift.

Last week, I simply didn't get 'er done. I hate it when work gets in the way of fun.
Anyway, while not very artistic, creative or challenging, a self-portrait with an Alaskan flair to it...the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline. At Mile 8 of the Steese Highway, just north of Fairbanks, Alaska (taken Tuesday of this week).
Oh...this is Mile 450 of the 800 mile long pipeline.

I had the delight of watching my granddaughter in an equestrian competition. Before the event, I wandered the roads near the paddocks and got a few shots.
This is Token, and I decided to leverage the light on his mane to create the silhouette feel in Luminar4.
One of the few remaining Token working lines within NSW is the Braemar branch from Mittagong Junction to Braemar to service a Railway sleeper production plant. When large quantities of concrete sleepers are required trains run to pick them up. It takes 3 days to load an entire train, on day 1 of the operation DL43 sits at the head of 2M51N awaiting the end of their pre-departure checks with 8237 out of sight behind. The train would shortly depart for Moss Vale.
82 and DL class have been regulars on these for the past 3 or so cycles, the train usually runs once per month. This train then went up to the North Star branch to drop sleepers for construction of the new ARTC Heavy Haul Inland Rail line.

These three arcade game tokens are a few of the ones that I saved from the early 1980's. I used to go to the arcade with friends when I was a young teenager. A few of us girls mostly went to meet boys! :)
I was never able to get a coin with my Zodiac sign.... Aries.

This month Token is already 4 years with me! And he's still my favourite boy. (♥ω♥ )
His head yellowed quite a bit though. :c

PS:
Translated the sign says "Don't drink and push." which is a play on "Don't drink and drive."

Ah the fall colours in BC, the ever-green province. One thing I miss from living in Ontario is the plethora of fall colours. But here in BC you get the ocean, and a single red tree with a crisp breeze (not pictured ;o) ) to indicate fall
Love locks have never really taken off in the UK, but its seems that moves are afoot in Majorca. These ones spotted on one of the many viewpoints on Majorca's Cap Formentor.
How many of the relationships continue to be lovers locked in embrace, as opposed to locked in and seeking escape?
