I have one car that fits part of the description... I have weathered it a bit. It was labeled "Central Pacific" but now has no real markings.
The MANTUA Drover's Caboose.
I read a story about these things. These cars were special built for the "cattle drovers" and their horses. Even to the point that they were better equipped than a Pullman, Diner, and a tail car (were they called cabooses yet?)
Oh this is my only Tyco/Mantua old-west piece of rolling-stock... er, besides my two dixie W & A 4-6-0's of Tyco.

Oh, then there's my Horse/Jail car...
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
