It's an XM-5 34-foot 60,000-lb. capacity boxcar built in 1899 by AC&F as part of an order for 600 cars numbered 28744-29343. In all, there were 2,981 XM-5s, built in 1891 through 1899. The last of them were off the roster by the end of 1925. This info is
from Rupert's exhaustive roster of Burlington freight cars.

Subject: [CBQ] Box Car Identification
Attached is a photo of a wood truss rod box car taken in 1910 at Ottawa, IL. Does anybody know what classification this car was? That car number appears later in a group of box cars built at Havelock
in 1946. They were classified at XM32A. The car obviously isn’t from that group.
