EKCM Brown Swingers

The EKCM Brown Swingers stock was a type of rolling stock in the El Kadsre City suburban railway network. Entered service in 1910 during the New Edo period, these wooden-bodied trains were the first electric multiple units in the city. The name “Brown Swingers” deprived from the color of their wooden bodies which were varnished and their outward opening doors.

The total of 339 Brown Swingers were built between 1910 and 1914. The Brown Swingers were retired from service in 1979 following the incident where one of the carriages catched on fire in the El Kadsre City Metro Tunnel and the farewell tour took place in 1980. The majority of the Brown Swingers were scrapped while the rest were donated to museums and some pieces of the Brown Swingers were used to build the EKCM D10-2 double decker trains.
