I was browsing through MILW photos and came across this. What type of car is directly behind the power?

Two people in the comments say it's a sand car.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Yeah, the TwinCitiesRails group covered this a little while ago.

The final thought was a MILW company sand car loaded out of Eau Claire.
