Ed,
There were three series of boxcars by the early-mid 1960s in the
7000 series. Each were forty foot boxcars. They were dwindling
rapidly in the early 1960s. This is what I have from my own
collected roster:

1930 by PSC as Series #40000-40199. Renumbered 1934 when
equipped w/auto racks. Auto racks removed beginning 1951 and
renumbered to current series. IH 9' 8". End Door A End.
Series #7000-7189. One car on roster in January 1966 ORER.
34 Cars Listed From Series #7000-7488 in July 1963 ORER.

A friend of mine sent me a photo that had
CB&Q 7325 in the train. It’s obviously a fifty foot
boxcar that was originally in automobile service, but had the
leading digit removed when put into general service. It has
ends similar to the XA-14 class cars, the 3-3-3 dreadnaught
ends, but has wooden doors on the side. Anyone have a clue as
to what the original number of the car might have been, or
which class of car it might have been assigned to on the Q?
The photograph was probably taken late 1950’s t0 1962 based on
other things in the image.
I would post the image, but I don’t know
where my friend found it, and have no way of knowing who holds
the copyright on the image, so I can’t put it on the list.
