The "roof" of the car looks more like doors, maybe with a hinge at the top of each vertical, in the sides? Possibly multiple doors? The flatness of the "roof" also could be taken as an indicator of "doors", but why cover pulpwood?
What makes this worse, is that the car number, 508590, would have been assigned to a 33' 2 bay 5 ribbed-braced hopper! Formerly CB&Q.
The possibilities?
1. a "specialty car".
2. a figment of a toy train manufacturer's imagination.
3. a seriously misinterpreted mistake.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
