Is it plastic? If so, it looks like something from maybe Marx. Not sure, though.

It's Marx. It's been modified for Kadee couplers. Previously there would have been horn-hook couplers on mounts that pivoted with the trucks.
I used to have a car like that, and a red one lettered: Huron Portland Cement.
Carpe Manana!

Okay, no problem. I kinda figured it was Marx, based on the trucks and livery.
