Chances are it was a wine service tankcar. I am sure many companies owned those.

I tried the link, noticed it was a Flexivan and then googled Flexivan...

New York Central was the most famous Flexivan user. Walthers catalogs other roadnames too.

In frame two of this animated gif on walthers.com you can see the end of a freight car. I have three of these and I don't know what they are called.

You'll have to copy the whole link. The forum code doesn't seem to allow parenthesis in a url.
