Dear Martin,
of course you are right. Although I should know the difference, I use usually
the word concrete (aka "Beton" in German) for all states of aggregate: power
cement, (fluid) ready mixed concrete and the finalized concrete material....
So this is a cement silo car.

I agree on this. Just look into any (European) modelbuilder catalogue and you
see dozens of such designs. A caboose should look different and would not have
the huge doors to load freight.
Lego overtook this design for other waggons like the 147 freeze car.
The first caboose came in US-version of 119 (US number: 118)

The next has been the alternative Model of 164
