Caption: What I can only guess as London (where the estate was located) and having him been an occasional railfan of the London area, this Eythl Canada tank car looks right at home.
A wonderful write up from Geoff Elliott on these (https://actionhobbiesrailroad.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/geoff-elliott-on-modelling-ethyl-anti-knock-tank-cars/#jp-carousel-1058) helped narrow down either where this was going to, or from.
Eythl Canada had a plant in Corunna, Ontario from 1956-2013 when the plant was closed. Eythl had a rather modest roster of roughly 60 tank cars of different capacities.

Our subject is the smaller of the lot, rated at 3,000 Gallons with 9 tank cars rostered of this style.
Thanks again to Jacob Patterson for scanning these
