Constructora 7-window

The 113 at Boavista, September 1981. The platforms were extended and did get doors. The retracktable steps are fixed.

In 1907 two cars were ordered at A Constructora of a new model. These cars had seven windows and transverse seating for 23. They entered service in 1908 and were numbered 199-200. The same year the workshops of the CCFP reconstructed 6-window car no.46 into a simular 7-window car, which got the number 201.  In 1909 a fourth car was made by A Constructora with the number 250. As most cars they were renumbered later.

Three cars came to the STCP of which one (112, former CCFP 179) was scrapped, one (114, former CCFP 236) sold to the USA and one (113, former CCFP 180) stored but not yet restored for the museum. As the only one of this series the 113 was elected to be modernised by the STCP. It did get extended platforms and retractable steps.

Two cars (numbers 250 and 252) on the Praça Dom Pedro (Praça da Liberdade). The 250 has open platforms and is made by A Constructora, the 252 has windscreens and is an original by Brill in 1909 constructed car. (Photo made around 1910)
