Re: Photo: Wabash Gondola 2963 (Undated)
Checking the ORER's
All coal cars from 1893 on were in the 3xxxx series
the 32963 is not listed in the March 1899 ORER
Listed in the Jun 1900 ORER with an interior of 33ft.

As I recall, there are those great Delano photos, as well as others, taken in Chicago during WW2 that include some CB&Q cars.
