Steve and Charlie,
from Westerfield's Oct. 1919 ORER CD, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co.
listing dated Sept. 1919:

Cars marked G.T.&R.Co. or G.T.R.X.
Hopper 101-200 IL 40'2 IW 9'6 IH 7'1 OL 42' EW 10'1 ExW 10'1 3/8
Ht sides 10'6 Extr. Ht 11' 4 7/16 Capy 140,000# 100 cars

By the April 1925 ORER listing cubic capacity data is added, 2508
cuft. Still 100 cars.

Those are extremely close to the PRR H21a
