BNSF Officer Special

What I’m assuming to be a last minute decision with the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt museum in Medora, the BNSF Officer Special, funnily symboled the “O-TOPDIC” made their way through Willmar with the 3 recently painted 250th units. Originally I stood for this train when I went to bed, but in typical railroad fashion that noon planned time fell back almost 12 hours. Enough time to take a train to Breckenridge and back, and still get off work before this one came in. I’m not the best by any means of photographing trains at night (especially moving ones) but I couldn’t pass this up. My friend also happened to be the student engineer on this trip, so him and the rest of the guys wanted their photo taken.
