The Canadian Car & Foundry - Amherst Builders photo gives a date of 1923 which is likely the date when the cupola was added during a major rebuild.

The car was re-numbered and converted to Van DAR000091 in June 1941.(1) It was eventually sold for scrap to a construction company in New Minas, Nova Scotia where it was used as a storage building.(3)
