Running round at Smallbrook Junction 31.5.2013

This series of photos shows how the token, authorising that engine to travel on the single track line between Haven Street and Smallbrook Junction, is used to unlock the point lever at the entrance to Smallbrook Junction. Top left - the fireman hooks the token's loop on to the catcher arm. Top right - the train guard - once the train is stationary with the brakes applied - takes the token to the Ground Frame box and unlocks the point lever and moves the switch blades across. Bottom left - once the engine has passed up the line, the guard switches the points back. Bottom right - the engine having returned to its train, the guard removes the token from the ground frame and returns it to the engine crew.
