Builder's Photo
Does one exist?Image from June, 1893 Official Railway Equipment Register, p215
I am assuming there is some (perhaps vague) resemblance of this image to the actual cars, but in lieu of builder's (or other) photos, it is likely as good as I'm going to get.

ORER Notes
7/1896 to (but not including) 3/1903, there is a note after the "Leased cars" section, which reads in part: ...E.F.C.H.Co. 50201 to 50250 are ventilated fruit cars equipped with heaters...
Discussion, General Notes
- 1903 - Were these rebuilt without "ventilation", or did they just drop the label (and note)
- See here for a listing of MEC Eastman Heater photos (which may, or may not, resemble B&M cars)
