Could you be thinking of John H. White's "American Railroad Freight Car : From the Wood-Car Era to the Coming of Steel, The" [my notes did not have the complete title]? It is from John Hopkins Press and is available in hardback and paperback. I haven't gotten around to getting it for my library, but have checked it out through interlibrary loan.
This does focus mainly on pre-1900s and has lots of interesting photos. White also has a book called "American Locomotives" that is considered a classic. Both of these books are frequently mentioned positively on the Steam Era Freight Car [STMFC] list.
