BNSF Officer's Special - Galveston to Alliance TX
Author: SpaceTrain

Caught the BNSF Officer's Special this morning at the Alvin (TX) Depot (see http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,1847254). Came through at 8:44, with some fog still burning off. Sorry about the lighting, the sun just will not cooperate and come up in the west when I need it to. The observation car was the "William B Strong" (BNSF-32) sporting a different look from other photos I have seen.

If you're referring to the fact that the WB Strong now has the "Wedge" logos on it, its been that way since late September. I caught it fresh out of the Topeka, KS shops with that "paint" on 9/30/08.

That, and the top name plate above the windows used to have the old-style lettered "Burlington Northern Sante Fe" while the car name plate was below the windows.
