What About This Car?

Anyone know anything about this car?  It is a lightly weathered version of an MTL open coal hopper with a load.  It appears to be a 50th anniversary car for MTL from 2022.  It is not listed in their overall data base and I can't find any information on it.  The road number is not specific to this car.  I've seen it on other hoppers that were part of a 4-car set.  Any info is appreciated.

Doug

Each year for "Cyber Monday" they would use some extra stock, lightly weather them and put a little holiday graffiti on them. You could only get them if you ordered on their website during the sale.

Thanks John (and Mark a bit too late  :D).  I don't need the car so I might put it on the block.
