After reading the Wikipedia article entitled "Railroad car" that you referred to, I think you should modify your wiki page to modify the description of "railway car" to include non-revenue cars. I have mapped several cabooses (UK brake vans), a type of non-revenue car, and technically these don't fall under the categories of rolling stock, freight cars, or passenger cars/coaches.
