Could it be an M&StL Fowler box car conversion??
Howe truss... six panels, a rib (not just a flat strap) on the outer panels.
Could be a Mather car from NP or a variety of roads.
I don't see the sideways vee straps (e.g. < > ) that many (all?) Mather cars have on the outermost panels.
Mather was my first thought; however, I didn't see the features pointed out by Milepost17.8, and I've never seen a Mather with letterboards along the top of the car side. (The NP Mathers lacked these letterboards).

I think it might be a Swift stock car. The layout of the structural members looks right, although I haven't seen one with the short letter/number board on the right. I've only seen them with the long board to the left side of the door. However, they did have double deckers like this one.
