WEEK 17 – Southaven Gordmans Liquidates Again (VII)
Panning to the left (and fast-forwarding five days to June 2nd, 2020, for the majority of the rest of these pics), here’s an overview of practically the entire right-hand half of the store, beginning with what I believe was signed as the women’s activewear department closest to us in the foreground (I see a more generic “women’s” sign off to the right, however).
I was a little afraid that Gordmans’s sad 2020 downfall would receive very little documentation here in the online retailsphere, but happily, y’all have been proving me wrong on that! Random Retail, for instance, has shared a few converted Gordmans during their liquidation sales, and gameking3 has recently been on a major spree uploading a ton of Gordmans stores, both holdovers from Gordmans 1.0 and Stage-owned conversions. I can’t possibly link to every tour, but hopefully the searches I linked to behind those guys’ names brings most of them up for you (if flickr cooperates with me, lol). I think it’s particularly interesting to see not only the wide variety of interior atmospherics from the converted stores (which is to be expected), but also the variety even between different Gordmans 1.0 formats. I hope y’all enjoy looking through and comparing all that stuff as much as I have! And thanks to those two for documenting this chain so well, also…

One of the major reasons why we need to work towards protecting the environment is because it helps to protect humanity. If we didn’t have our environment, then we wouldn’t have a place to live or resources to live.it is our moral obligation to do so. As a human who lives on earth, it is our responsibility to make sure that it is protected. We must give back to the future generation that what we have received and enjoying. Give them an environment that isn’t damaged and teach them how to continue living sustainably. I request all good souls to plant Banyan tree while making tree plantation. It will have a long lasting effect for mankind and go a long way in carry forwarding the nature to the next generation and will also give fruits useful for birds. Instagram Id : @nagendran_c4777. Planting of trees in a special occasion such as Birthday Wedding etc is a excellent gesture. It can be done in memory of our Parents, Teachers, Friends and also people who comes across in our life such as Doctors Nurses and health staff for their noble service to the society.

Today 13/1/2023 I was in Nagarahole Tiger Reserve – Karnataka Forest to capture in my camera my dream animal - the Leopard in its full glory. Though I have captured the animal before the shots were not to my liking. This time too the Leopard eluded my lens and finally showed its face after my prayers. I wrapped up and was advised to cross the first check post before 5 pm. I crossed it as instructed and when my driver was speeding up to cross the second check post I saw a Leopard slowly coming to sit in a rock. Immediately I instructed the driver to stop and come in the reverse. He quickly responded and stopped at the exact spot and switched off the engine. I got some nice shots and tears of joy rolled down my cheeks. Thank God and thanks to the driver who was very obliging. We should preserve Nature and hand it over to the next generation. Save Nature ,save the world. Please save Nature and safely hand it over to our next generation. Plant more Banyan trees as they sustain many lives. Thanks. Instagram Id :- nagendran_c4777

When I got a call at work to arrange the movement of a dinosaur, it was one job I couldn't refuse. Over the last 35 years of being employed in worldwide freight forwarding, I've been asked to deliver all sorts of strange things but this has to be the most unusual. I couldn't lose the chance to say I once delivered a real, full size dinosaur!
I like the expression on the woman's face, bottom left.
This is Dan Dragon. He's been refining the ability of dragons to move freely around the 4 dimensions we know - and who knows how many we don't? He's planning to set up the Dragon Family Freight Forwarding Company - Duffco for short. This will obviously have the ability to manouevre to any point in space very quickly, plus the potential for using the time tunnels. You could receive your parcel before it has actually been posted. You need never worry about forgetting birthdays or anniversaries again!
Yes, he's a silver being who can fly sideways through time.

Holy manual labor Batman! This amazing image from the Southern California Edison's historical collection at the Huntington Library depicts the transloading of two very large transformers for a new substation in 1922. The boys are coaxing the transformer off of a standard gauge Monon flatcar onto a 3 ft 6 inch gauge Los Angeles Railway (the city streetcar system) wooden work flat for forwarding on to the substation site in Eagle Rock.
This amazing image and many others from the SCE archives can be found online at the Huntington's site- kudos to the team at the library for their ongoing efforts to digitize these historic images and put them on the internet. This site is really worth spending some time on. Please see: hdl.huntington.org/digital/collection/p16003coll2/id/20361
It's been a month since I've posted anything but I've actually been fairly active. A highlight was a day off during the week without kiddos (thanks Wifey!) for DW and I to get out to southern Illinois and look around. I had it in my head and heart that the Crab Orchard and Egyptian was going to run - especially after making contact with the Trainmaster/Conductor. After learned the COER would be a later in the day operation, we went to McLeansboro to sniff around the Evansville Western (former L&N mainline from Evansville, IN to East St. Louis). We immediately lucked into 2 southbounds running back-to-back with EVWR power! This should have been a sign to keep pressing east for the day....
Following somewhat closely behind the WLA-6 is the normal local job MCL-1. It appears this job runs west of McLeansboro on M-W-F and east towards Mt Vernon, IN on Tue-Thur. Here a trio of GP's in correct paint (matched paint rocks!) haul the short train through Epworth, IL in the floodplain territory south of Carmi. MCL1 appears to have a majority of agricultural traffic from Illinois for forwarding either to CSX at Evansville or barge loadouts around Mount Vernon, IN.

The 1970 Hemi Cuda was a huge release in the history of muscle cars, but there is only one factory-built drag-car Hemi Cuda with a VIN that was produced for the Sox & Martin team: this one. By 1970, NHRA was forwarding acid-dipped bodies to its race teams for conversion. Not as well remembered is that the rules still required enough OEM trim that many teams also received a Street Hemi E-body to complete that conversion. This car likely exists because it was rebuilt into a test and clinic car by Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin. It served as a test bed and was then dressed up to actively compete in AHRA’s GT-1 class and Super Stock class, where team driver Herb McCandless and Ronnie Sox successfully took it to a World Championship in AHRA, also winning in several GT-1 PSS wins. Now considered the only professional-level drag-racing E-body Hemi Cuda with a factory Hemi VIN tag, this car is equipped with a 426 Hemi V-8 engine that hosts a rare Chrysler prototype independent-runner tunnel ram with twin 4500-series Holley 4-barrel race carburetors. This serious engine also has a solid-roller camshaft, 13.0:1 compression, Hooker headers, rev-limiter and cool can. The engine is backed by an A833 4-speed transmission and 4.88 Dana 60 rear end with chrome cover. Presented stunningly in the legendary red, white and blue team livery, this car has a black bucket-seat interior, Hurst shifter, cable-driven tachometer and period-installed gauging. Well-known within the Mopar hobby and restored to competition specifications, this car also has Keystone wheels, correct Firestone Drag 500 slicks and an original broadcast sheet. Gorgeous with correct decals and excellent painted-on team lettering, this Plymouth is instantly recognizable by those who remember the glory days of racing. However, only this car can lay claim to being a true Sox & Martin drag-racing vehicle whose origins were a production-line-built 1970 Hemi Cuda.

They say all good things must come to an end, sooner or later. On Thursday December 11th, the Central Oregon & Pacific would run one last train out of Weed to finish clearing all the cars out of California and forwarding them to Medford, Oregon barely 10 years after reopening of the line in November 2015.
With the closure of the RFP veneer mill in Weed, virtually no shippers remain on this nearly 100-mile section of the railroad. And thus before a maintenance embargo can be implemented, every railcar must be cleared out of the trackage affected. On this last run, the train would have nearly 50 cars by the time they reached the state line, making it quite possibly the biggest train over the Siskiyous since the SP or maybe even the RailAmerica years.
From dawn to dusk on Thursday, me and my buddy Luke would follow the train northbound as it slowly built in size. Many more people from as far north as Albany, and as far south as the bay area would show up to see the action (and it certainly lived up to the hype) even though the weather was not always ideal.
It is quite unfortunate that many railroaders and laborers' hard work of keeping the railroad open in recent years is all going to waste thanks to the closure and exodus of another. While there is still hope that the mill in Weed can be reopened under new ownership, only time will tell. Interchange traffic from the Rogue Valley might also still be in the cards, but only if Union Pacific cooperates. If not CORP will more than likely let the route rot like Tennessee Pass, and even pull out of the lease all together.

The little Branford Steam Railroad has long been on my to photography do list since despite all my travels both past and recent in New England, I'd never photographed them.
But, like so many other local roads, their primary 'road' power is a leased GATX GP38-2 making it rather indistinguishable from so many other area roads. However, for the last couple weeks that geep has been away getting a wheel true and some contract repairs up at the Providence and Worcester shop.
Consequently SW1001 7357 which was built new for the operation in July 1976 has been back in public view shuttling trains between the quarry and the docks. Given that the leaser is expected back soon I decided now was a good time to finally go check this off my list.
The Branford Steam is unique in the area given that it is not a common carrier railroad and exists solely as a 'conveyer' belt for its parent company's massive quarry in North Branford. Much of the the traffic on the 6.2 mile long route is insular, moving loaded hoppers of quarried trap rock from the mine on Totoket Mountain to the dock at Juniper Point on the shore of Long Island Sound for barging to New York construction customers.
But the road also interchanges cars with the Providence and Worcester Railroad that moves them to the company's other facilities in Connecticut as well as all the way to interchange with the New York and Atlantic Railroad in Queens, NY. Furthermore they supply ballast to Amtrak which also interchanges MofW hoppers in the same small Pine Orchard Yard for forwarding up to the quary for loading.
The oldest portion of the route can trace its history to 1903 and the quarry it serves has been in operation for 107 years mining trap rock (hard igneous rock) under the aegis of assorted owners. At the time of the railroad's 1909 incorporation the name 'Steam Railroad' was used to distinguish the new railroad from the nearby Branford Electric Railway which was a separate streetcar system. The latter is long gone but you can still go for a pleasant shoreside walk along the causeways it built nearby.
Originally known as the New Haven Trap Rock Company, mining has followed the west face of Totoket Mountain in Jurassic Holyoke Basalt for nearly three miles producing one of the longest continuous quarry faces in the world. The little private railroad moves in excess of one million tons annually and is an impressive if obscure operation. Now operated as a subsidiary of Dublin, Ireland based CRH it seems that there is no end in sight.
To learn more about the railroad and one of its surving quarry steam locomotives check out this excellent link: www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/steamtown/shs2m.htm
Anyway, here is the little EMD switcher arriving in the Pine Orchard yard about to cut away, run around their train and shove the cut of loaded hoppers up the north leg of the wye to the P&W/Amtrak interchange yard.

So after I bagged the Rock freight at Minco, I headed east and south to intercept the Frisco, at a point s.w. of OKC. I don't know if I had inside info - remember, NO scanners! - from a depot operator, which would have been at Chickasha ("CHICK-uh-shay"), where the Frisco and Rock crossed, or if I just knew that by early afternoon a pair of HOTshots would come out of OKC headed toward Quanah, Texas. That is where the QLA and QSF would be handed over to Quanah Acme & Pacific for a short but fast ride to the Santa Fe for relay to L.A. and SanFran. In a little over a year, these trains would be interchanged directly from Frisco to Santa Fe at Avard, in northwest Oklahoma. Nowadays the route from Memphis and St. Louis to California, by way of Tulsa, Enid, and Avard, is running about 20 trains a day on BNSF with CTC lighting the way. But on this bright winter day, Frisco has a pair of U25b units, a U30b, and a black high nose U25b leading westbound freight "First QSF" toward the Quanah Acme & Pacific for forwarding to ATSF in the Texas panhandle. More auto racks, hot freight, and probably pigs are certainly crowding - or exceeding - the 49mph speed limit in this dark territory. If those were white flags flying over the corners of the cab, they probably didn't survive the speed, and NOTHING white will survive a walk down the side of the lead U-boat!

Thanks to JQ and MM, I knew that NS 8098 (Conrail Heritage Unit) was leading train 112 westbound from Louisville to St. Louis. Originally estimated into the Lou for 0715, I had hoped they would fall down. After checking my work schedule, I learned I had a meeting at 0900! Then I hoped the train wouldn't fall down too much...
Listening to the feed while getting ready for work found the Southern West District was really busy around 0700. 239 was holding the main at New Baden. 168 was coming west behind 239. 167 was heading east to clear up at New Baden. 112 was getting permission from the CN at Centralia and D76 wanted to enter Centralia Yard Limits and also head west. Whew!
112 took a short delay from the BNSF at Centralia so I figured my only hope was for 167 to meet the first two at New Baden then run east to Shattuc for 112 and D76. That was not to be as 112 got a warrant west to catch up to 239 and 168.
I went to work continuing to listen to the feed and anxiously listening for 112 to call signals. Eventually, 0830 rolled around and I left the warehouse to spend 15 minutes trackside. Luckily, everything kept moving and by 0845 I heard 112 call "Clear MP 19". Within a quick moment, the 8098 popped around the corner and under the former L&N (now Metrolink) and passed the platform for the long gone Southern depot in Belleville. 112 was clearly forwarding some power west but Big Blue certainly stood out from the 8 normally dressed sisters.
Got the shot and back to work in time for the 0900 meeting!

CSAO FJ-02 ties down their 15 cars on 0 Track at Grundy, for eventual forwarding to Morrisville via the BS-02.
“So, this is the problem as it was told to me by our friend, Icecap.” Said Sky. “There would appear to be a local fish shortage.”
Sky looked at the expressions of horror on the faces of the other bears before he continued.
“Every week I order Icecap a load of fish when we have our order in for honey, well that used to work quite well but recently it is not working at all.”
“Why is it they do not have fish?” Asked Bertie looking amazed at the news.
“Yes, I thought they always had fish, Sky, is this going to happen all the time?” Asked Barnaby feeling very thankful that fish was not his main food.
“I do not know why they do not have fish, they should, they always did, but now they don’t.” Said Sky.
Every bear looked up as Icecap came and sat beside them.
“I think we need more knowledge about fish and the store so we can discover why we have this problem.” Said Posh Bear.
“Well, I went with Elli to the store in her ellicopter to see what was happening.” Said Icecap. “The problem would seem to be they do not have a fish counter there any longer. They are only going to sell fish wrapped into plastic sealed units in future. I got talking to a bear, nice chap, who was waiting to be owned that had lived there for the time, he was saying that the store had been wanting to get rid of the fish counter for ages as it was expensive to run, then came the big hooman sickness that kept everyone indoors and out of stores. That gave the stores the excuse they needed and so they now only have these small sides of fish sealed in hard plastic.” Explained Icecap.
“I see, that is a problem then, anyone any ideas how we can keep Icecap filled up with fresh delicious fish?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Where do they make fish?” Asked Barnaby.
“In the oceans and sea.” Answered Bertie smiling at the idea of a factory line of hoomans making fish to put in the sea.
“Do we know if there is a spare sea kicking around that we could place in the back garden and then Icecap could just lean out of a window when he wanted to eat and help himself.” Explained Barnaby rather proudly that he had got the answer to the problem before anyone else.
“A good idea, Barnaby, but sadly I think you will not be able to find a spare sea, I am fairly sure they are all taken up and as far as I am aware, there are no plans to make new ones just yet.” Said Sky feeling he needed to add some input to the conversation as he is a genius that everyone looked to, to discover answers to difficult questions.
“I suppose I could go and find a sea or ocean and live there.” Said Icecap looking sad at the idea.
“No, that would never work because they don’t have buzzy things in oceans and seas and so we would have no honey.” Said Bertie. “So, if we can’t go nor can our friend Icecap. We need to find an answer.”
“Could we leave a forwarding address to the buzzy things and then they could … no that would not work as they can’t read bear and we can’t write buzzy thing. There must be a logical answer to this problem…” said Sky, rubbing his head with his paw as he tried thinking of the solution.
“The logical answer is easy; it is the illogical answer that I need.” Said Icecap looking shocked that they had been looking at the problem wrong.
“How do you mean, Icecap?” Asked Posh Bear.
“Well, the logical answer is that I ask Elli to fly me to the sea every so often so I can stock up on fish, it wouldn’t take her long and I know she would do it for me.”
“Yes, I can see that, it is a decent way around the problem.” Said Posh Bear smiling.
“Only, I must balance out my fears of flying with Ellie, against the fish the store does have. I was looking for a better answer to get my fish without asking Elli or having the store fish.” Explained Icecap.
“I think I have the answer.” Said Barnaby looking excited.
“What now, Barnaby, maybe send letters to the fish and ask them to catch a lift with Elli?” Said Bertie giggling.
“No, I must admit that I had not thought of that, Bertie. Good idea that it is, I think my idea is much betterer. We find a different store that does sell fish the way Icecap likes it and go there. His fish doesn’t have to come on the same lorry that our honey does.” Barnaby explained.
“Could we try that, Sky? Could you find another store to get it from?” Asked Icecap.
“I think we should try. Good idea young Barnaby, see I am teaching him well. One day he will be a proper genius just like me.” Said Sky smiling as he saw Icecap looking happier.

This I got a lifetime opportunity to celebrate my Pongal holidays with one of India's oldest tribes - the Badugas at Thalavadi Sathiyamangalam. Their community leader invited me to witness and be part of their Pongal festivities. They worship a Banyan tree which is more than 200 years old. Annadanam (free dinner) was given to more than 1000 people. Instagram Id:- @nagendran_c4777. - 15-01-2024.
One of the major reasons why we need to work towards protecting the environment is because it helps to protect humanity. If we didn’t have our environment, then we wouldn’t have a place to live or resources to live.it is our moral obligation to do so. As a human who lives on earth, it is our responsibility to make sure that it is protected. We must give back to the future generation that what we have received and enjoying. Give them an environment that isn’t damaged and teach them how to continue living sustainably. I request all good souls to plant Banyan tree while making tree plantation. It will have a long lasting effect for mankind and go a long way in carry forwarding the nature to the next generation and will also give fruits useful for birds.
Captain Ernest Herschell was a big personality: he was physically strong, well-educated, successful in business, well-liked and a talented rugby-player. Interestingly, he is another of our local casualties with German ancestry.
His father was Adolph Herschell (1830-1913), who came to Hull from Germany in about 1855.
He eventually settled in Liverpool and made his money in the African trade.
His wife was Anne Emerson (born c.1841 in London). The couple married in Marylebone in 1870.
Anne’s family were also successful business people, involved in silk manufacture and international trade.
Adolph and Anne eventually settled in Beresford Road in Oxton. They had five children – Arnold, Jane, Bertha, Ernest and Edith. In 1891 Ernest was a boarder at Amersham Hall School in Caversham, just north of Reading.
The school had been founded by Ebenezer West in 1829 “for the sons of dignified gentlemen”.
Doubtless it was here that he learned to play rugby – the sport which he grew to love and to play very well at a high level. He became a member of the Birkenhead Park Club.
Someone calling himself C.C. wrote Ernest’s eulogy which appeared in The Birkenhead News of 30th September 1916: “Captain Ernest Herschell was a great rugby player. As a forward he stood high among his fellows in the middle of the nineties … For ten successive years he was in the list of prominent men north of the Trent … with ‘Flapper’ Herschell in the scrum it was much more healthy to be on his side than against him. He was a deadly tackler, and when he got the ball tucked under his arm and set the pace it was almost more than mortal man could do to bring him down.”
He said that Ernest played for the North against the South at Exeter in 1897, in 1898 at Newcastle and in 1905 at Birkenhead. He also played against the New Zealand All Blacks in that year. He played cricket for Oxton, but “rugby was his code”.
His brother Arnold was a famous tennis player.
By 1911, Ernest was married to Bertha Mary and living on Heron Road in Meols; the couple had a seven-month old baby called Winifred Mary and employed two servants – Maud Edith Partington from Beaumaris and Elizabeth Derbyshire of Liverpool. Ernest was doing well in business – he was a managing director for a firm of forwarding agents, called R.H. Morgan and Co. Ltd., which specialised in trade with South America. Ernest had worked for some time in Argentina, where he was probably able to keep up his rugby.
He probably spoke Spanish, which is why his house was named Buen Orden, meaning “good order”.
C.C. went on to comment about Ernest’s military career: “Having passed his fortieth year, he could have kept out of the war, but his old love to be where the strife was hottest, and his great patriotism, forced him to leave his family and home for the trenches, and he joined the Liverpool Regiment”. The 1/6th Battalion was a territorial unit which became part of the 165th Brigade, 55th (West Lancashire) Division.
He was promoted from lieutenant to the temporary rank of captain on 16th November 1914, interestingly at the same time as another German-sounding officer – Charles E. Wurtzburg.
The 55th Division relieved the 11th (Northern) Division on the Somme front 25th July 1916, in the area facing Guillemont. It took part in the Battles of Flers-Courcelette between 17th and 22nd September and Morval between 25th and 28th September.
The Book of Remembrance says that he died at Flers. C.C. said, “Today he lies low, but I’ll warrant he did his duty. Ernest Herschell was a good fellow, and as a sportsman he could take hard knocks as generously as he gave them to his opponents , and many a hundred men had cause to remember him when his springing footsteps were prancing the enclosure of a Rugby field. Those of us who knew him are sorry for his end. Some day, perchance, I may recall the lighter side of his genial nature. At the moment we bow to the severance, and salute the name and record of one who did his bit for King and country.”
Ernest’s parents lived well into their 80’s and are buried in West Kirby. The family grave is in Grange Hill Cemetery.
