A summer Saturday at Welshpool and the driver of Class 37/0 37251 has a quick chat with the duty signalman as the tokens are exchanged. The 2J17 07:53 Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth comprised a set of Inter-City liveried stock that would later return as the 1A50 servce to London Euston.

The 1A52 12:20 Inverness to Aberdeen arrives at Nairn where the token exchange is completed by a member of the station staff. Class 37/4 37404 'Ben Cruachan' was providing the 'growl' up front.
A product of the English Electric Vulcan Foundary, D6986 was delivered in June 1965. TOPS classification as a 37/0 saw it renumbered to 37286 at the start of 1973. Refurbishment and the fitting of train heating completed in 1985 saw it emerge as 37404 in large logo blue. In January 1986 it was named 'Ben Cruachan' and re-painting to InterCity Mainline livery as illustrated was completed mid-1989. After 33 years and 8 months in service, withdrawal came in February 1999 and the locomotive was scrapped at C F Booth, Rotherham 3 years later.

Token of my mother's ashes taken to the Big Island. She passed away Sept 2023 just days shy of her 91st birthday. She loved living in and visiting Hawaii.
Woke up early to take the image, edited the image...forgot to post the image. So here it is, for the sake of posterity and workflow completion. Sunrise as it breaks through the treeline this Cold November Morning.

A little late to the party....but, my fave game piece of Monopoly(next to the top hat!)
In the game of Monopoly : "Each player is represented by a small metal token that is moved around the edge of the board according to the roll of two dice. The number of tokens and the tokens themselves have changed over the history of the game, with many appearing in special editions only, and some available with non-game purchases. As of 2013, eight tokens are included in standard edition games, including:
Wheelbarrow (1937b edition)
Battleship
Racecar
Thimble
Old-style shoe (or boot)
Scottie dog
Top hat
Cat (2013-onwards)"
Ikoflex w/ Neopan Acros 100 [rescan]
It was late in January. I had just finished making a delivery to Kooper's - the last run I had to do and I wanted to get out with my recently purchased Ikoflex before the sun sank.
Fells Point is cold in the Winter. Lots of people still come but they stick in tighter groups that make the population feel sparse. There are lots of people indoors. Doors and windows into restaurants look like they lead somewhere else, like you could step out of winter for an hour and have a drink.
On the end of the pier you may not be alone but with the sharp wind to your face and the gray waves, the cold metallic and dimpled surface of the token telescope reflects the last light of the dipping sun and its glassy eyes look like they could show you any other desolate place on Earth.
YDM-4 6756 rolls into Nyoriya Husenpur where the token hoop is ready for the loco crew to take for the journey onward to Pilibhit Juntion. Train 52220 was the 12:40 from Tanakpur, the TPE-PBE Passneger.

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.
66094 arrives at Brentford with the 0449 Severnside Sita-Brentford. As 6A23 had come down the branch with the ticket this train had the staff. As it will depart before me we exchange tokens so the Southall service can leave with the ticket leaving the staff on 6Z18
With D1013 still being worked on, D1062 marooned at Kidderminster and D821 away from the Valley, it was left to D1015, still running with the railtour alternate identities of D1010 and D1058, to fly the hydraulic flag.

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.
The driver of an Arriva Trains Wales single unit Sprinter, 153323, on the Swansea to Shrewsbury service, is seen collecting the token from the signalman for the onward journey to Craven Arms.

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.
Another from the first day of the West Somerset Railway Spring Steam Spectacular, the day proved to be a trying day for the volunteers and staff of the railway as lineside fires delayed services through the day. However, this presented an unforeseen photographic opportunity towards the end of the day with 45596 Bahamas running some 80" late arriving at Williton with a full maroon rake in gorgeous light.

Running some 13 minutes late, the driver of TfW Class 170 No. 170203 exchanges the token with the signalman at Tondu working the 13:29 to Cardiff Central via the Glamorgan costal route on 26th October 2022.

At Muir of Ord, in August 1980, a brief break in the Mount-St-Helens-inspired miserable weather sees the sun shining on a 26 as it runs in from Dingwall with an up Kyle train.
The driver of a passenger train is returning a token on the fly while passing through Sala Thammasop station West of Bangkok. Note the trackside device to catch the token.
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.
Direct Rail Services 66433 crawls into a damp Knaresborough with a train load of spent ballast whilst Signalman Ian stands on the Platform with the token for the Single Line Section to Cattal.
