Here's the story of the customer service office vans, from the July-August-September 1968 issue of the railroad's Burlington Bulletin.

I thought of that but the van looks too modern for 1970. I don’t know anything about U.S. vans - perhaps someone could date the it.

Just a guess since I don’t know when the photo was taken. Could this have been taken right after the merger and they slapped the BN sticker on the Q customer service van?

There’s an undated photo on eBay of the depot at  Bertrand, Nebraska, with a BN Customer Service van parked outside. The depot proudly displays a Burlington Route Herald on the end wall, which could be a leftover from earlier days, but the van has B R Heralds on both rear doors. Perhaps the driver was a BRHS member.
