As for the WABASH box: it's single sheath - is it USRA?

Nope, the ends are wrong and it only has two diagonals on either side of
the door. If the number is 78138, it's a 36-ft car anyway.

David Thompson, that Milwaukee car is a USRA...

David is correct, the car had a 36'-5" IL. The car is from the
77200 - 78199 series built by AC&F in 1917. Cars were described as
having z bar or steel ends and Hutchins or radial roofs. I believe
the cars were considered as Fowler clones.

The Wabash had 3200 36' Fowlers, 75000-78199.

75000 - 75699 AC&F 1912
75700 - 76199 Haskell and Barker 1912
76200 - 77199 AC&F 1916
77200 - 78119 AC&F 1917

Car in photo sure looks like 78138.
