83 N-3A cupola style cabooses built during 1945 and 1946 for Erie numbered C170-C269. Similar in design to the N3, the
N3A had a welded carbody rather than rivited.
Weighing about 43,900 Ibs., they had a rather clean-cut, somewhat boxy configuration with an off-center
cupola that was decidedly high. There were eight cupola windows (two in each section), three windows on each side of
the carbody, and two end windows flanking the doorway.

three miles north of Elkmont, AL along a former L&N right
