Maybe if you can not get an answer here on this forum try contacting BNSF, or try a railfan forum like on www.railroad.net where they may be more serious about your question and actually give you an answer. 

I'm sure there are folks here who would be willing and able to provide an answer, but without a picture, it's kind of hard to pin it down.  There's even someone here who may be able to give a general history of the car, or those like it, once it's identfied.

Attempts at humor notwithstanding, people are guessing, but apparently they have yet to guess correctly.   If the OP can find a picture of a similar car on-line, they can usually post a link to that.  

Hopefully if they do find an answer elsewhere, they'll share it here as well.  Inquiring minds want to know.

I was thinking, maybe if someone is willing to share an email (through direct messages), work or personal, so you would be able to email them the picture, and then they could upload the picture to here.

If you have a iOS device you can copy and paste the photo on here with it being stored on iCloud. I can pro a more in depth guide if need be.
