Without knowing anything else, it appears this car is part of a work train. The windows and vents indicate a way to have interior lighting and keep toxic and/or explosive fumes from building up; or a way to keep temperatures from getting excessively high. Used to see converted boxcars all the time on Seaboard Coast Line in MofWay service
