SET 3 – Goodman/Getwell Kroger, Post-Remodel
Taking a more drawn-back view of the bakery, we see in the foreground a couple of low-height refrigerated cases full of deli goods, the right-hand one of which also features Kroger’s new “Discover Local” imaging. Not sure if that’s a chainwide thing or just a Delta Division thing, but it has popped up in just about every store I’ve been in in the last few years. I like it, even though it does look a tiny bit cheesy.
I talked over it in the last description, but if you flip back to that for a second, you’ll see that the extreme close-up of the “BAKERY” lettering allows us a really good look at the construction of the department signage for this décor package. Given the way décor pieces seem to be made these days, I’m not sure if that’s real wood or just wood-look material, but in particular the roughness of the sides of the letters as well as the unfinished (that is, not painted white) portions of the sign ledge really make me lean more towards it being the former – which is rather interesting, I think.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
With a local train comprising Bulleid Stock, Maunsell Q brings its train through the Sussex morning sunshine.
Most Wednesdays, the UP sends a local over to Rockford, IL, from Belvidere. In addition to customers in the lovely downtown area, the train services the former Kenosha District, or KD line, which only goes as far as Loves Park these days to Rock Valley Oil & Chemical at Windsor Road. But nearby Cimco Resources, via a spur beginning at Riverside Boulevard, also recently started receiving carloads of scrap steel, doubling the number of customers on the KD line. On 3-30-16, the local delivered a couple loads and pulled this empty gondola away from the plant, maneuvering in the parkway trackage along Material Ave.
Another first, Preston is the topic for the next lot of photos; the Lancashire city seeing both Rotala-owned Preston Bus and Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire operating the lion-share of services.
Starting with Stagecoach, their Preston base have 3 Optare Versas in their fleet, all of them featuring the Local which suits the midi-bus much better compared to others across the company. The Optare Versas, fitted with MAN engines see regular use operating alongside Preston's fleet of Alexander Dennis Enviro200/Enviro300s.
Optare Versa 25218 (SF08 GOA) arrives at Preston Station, Fishergate on 111 to Preston Bus Station.
“I can't believe they charge 20 bucks for the chair and 12 for the umbrella.”
”I know, and these tourists from Chicago actually fell for that, sheesh!“
“We've got our natural SPF 30 feathers right here and the beach to ourselves!”
”What can I say? People!“

I made an attempt to stop at the Lombard overview but my memory failed me so it was on to Logan. It turns out Logan was the better play, the local crew was just starting to build their train. The clouds were touch and go but there were plenty of sucker holes allowing for nice light on the power with a little waiting. September 6, 2023.
With Stagecoach having a massive presence in both Gloucester and Cheltenham, it was only a matter of time before seeing the company's new colour scheme... If you could call it that! Less said the better!
The repaint into the new colour schemes has been pretty swift, with even those previously Gold-specified now being churned out into the 'Local' variant.
Gloucester is home to a number of Alexander Dennis Enviro300s; 10 examples feature MAN 18.240 chassis's, although have since been re-engined with Cummins ISBe engines. These 10 58-reg Enviro300s (22744-22749/22751-22754) were previously new to Stagecoach South for use on Aldershot-based 1 between Old Dean and Aldershot, until 2016 when replaced by Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMCs.
Since the end of 2016, the 10 Enviro300s made the move from Aldershot to Gloucester for use on the 66 between Gloucester and Stroud although now appear on all other routes across the area. So far, 8 out of 10 have since received new Local colours with only 2 remain in Gold colours.
Alexander Dennis Enviro300 22754 (GX58 MVT) turns into Clarence Street, Kings Walk Shopping Centre on 8 to Brockworth.
This species is the loud one you hear at dusk that goes on and on and on. Which is where they get their name, sound like a scissor blade sharpener. This one was on my flowerpot.

While Cade and Grumpy were our shooting a clean consist of power on a train yesterday I decided to stay home with the family and prevent the potential for the start of WW3. I’m still not sure if my diplomacy will be rewarded or if I’ll have to resort to direct action or guerrilla warfare. It’s still too early to tell.
So today I was pleasantly surprised by the M-TPTP local being slightly ahead of schedule and had a matched pair of clean GP60’s in great sun. So I popped the drone up over the trees and hoped that I wouldn’t hit any branches and snagged this image and still managed to keep my truck out of the frame.
I know some folks hate shooting in the winter because of all of the dead trees and the brown landscape, but damn how can you argue with being able to shoot all day long with the low sun angle? This shot was taken at 1000 and we still have shadows twice the height of the locomotives. We have about another 8 weeks of great light before we get too close to the Spring solstice and we only get to shoot mornings and evenings.
I hope all of you had a great holiday and didn’t piss off Santa too much. Because by this time next year we’ll all be in the bread line waiting for our chance at getting a loaf and avoiding a real life Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor.
