Anyone ever sees these before and who made them?

It was Fox Valley.  I believe that they did another private road name with the B&O wagon top box car.

Yes, it was FVM.  This was discussed in a thread in 2015 Virginian and Ohio models in N scale

Here's the FVM ad:  http://www.foxvalleymodels.com/announcements/feb13bandobox.jpg

Relevant parts of the above thread:

FVM also did 2 numbers for the AM on it's B&O wagontop box car.  I don't recall seeing any V&O versions. Nevermind, they did.  Also the Cumberland Valley.

I did some internet research and found out the V&O cars were cancelled and never released. I haven't found out why.  I guess Matt would know.  The AM and CV cars are out and still available here and there.  Somehow I got two of the AM 1190 cars and the CV 122134 car.

If my sieve of a mind remembers correctly. The cars were cancelled not because of sales, but because the V&O would have never had them according to the V&O Hysterical Society.

And I found it:

These were on the BLW site last week (with 2 different numbers available) but seemed to have disappeared at the moment.
I just received mine in the mail today.
They are out of the V&O but still have the Allegheny Midland.

They are out of the V&O but still have the Allegheny Midland.

Look back two posts for info on the V&O wagontops.  You won't find any anywhere because they never made them.

Got one of each number from BLW.  Thanks for the info.  Wish someone did older hopper cars for this or make decals so I could roll my own.
