Single Line bronze Tyer's No.9 key token THORNTON YARD SB - WESTFIELD GF(No.5) from the section being worked by No Signalman instruments at the Westfield end. When put into service on 1 October 1976 it was the intention to provide an intermediate manned signal box at Kinglassie Colliery, the latter box being actually built and fitted out but was never opened. The Thornton Yard - Westfield token instruments were set up as "long section" instruments to enable Kinglassie SB to be switched out, hence the unusual large oblong end. The token is in good ex-box condition, except for much of its original green paint having flaked off through use. The token instruments were taken out of service on 10th November 1991 when Thornton Yard SB was closed, the line now being worked by Track Circuit Block (axle counters).
