Turning in Right-of-way Token

This orange locomotive is running at 60 km/hr. The engineer is trying to turn in his right-of-way token (the loop in his hand) by throwing it to the white catcher on the platform.

Very nice shot. I like the blur which implies speed.

Greg,

Thanks! One more thing, we can no longer see this. Taiwan Railway Administration has upgraded the railroad system in this part of the country. The right-of-way control is all computerized now. Therefore, this manual practice of almost 100 year-old is no longer needed.
