Last train of the day, pulled by Henschel "Helen Kathryn" (built 1948) .arriving at Alston from Lintley, the crew are about to hand over the single line token to the signalman. Taken a few days after they opened the extension to Lintley.

I just love small stations and this is so well kept up. Great capture of the token exchange moment, StoneRoad.

Belated HFF!

Thank you.
This is a lovely line.
I always watch token exchanges, fascinating to see it done. There's several wrong ways to do it ...
