The 2701 Up Loco crosses the 315 Dn standing on the other track. Note the 2701 assistant driver getting ready to drop (surrender ?) the token of the earlier section and pick up the new token in the reed and leather hoop held by the signal man. The signal man is standing on a platform opposite to the Station Master's office. Note the piece of highlighted white rail that the station staff has to hold on to as the Goa Express passes him at speed. Note the flag set in the signal man's hand and the 'Starter' semaphore on the 'Road 1' which is 'On'
