Class A Electric Car no. A-3
1.5 Kv CC, 2 motors per truck, 230 HP
Maximum Speed 60 Km/h, narrow gauge 1,00m.

Made in England in 1924 by the English Electric Company.
Its original body was built in aluminum, totally revamped and improved
in the 2k's, being converted to wooden body and seats in a row, by
the Estrada de Ferro Campos do Jordo's workshop, in Pindamonhangaba, SP - Brazil. 
Due to the tireless efforts and dedication of the EFCJ's staff, this unit and other similars
are always in good shape, because they work in a artisan way.   
A-3 operates regularly in Campos do Jordo Railway, serving the little commuter line everyday or
eventually hired for special freight services.
