Oceanic Railway Museum

The Oceanic Railway Museum is a railway museum in El Kadsre City, El Kadsre. It was built using the former Vlokoil Refinery and opened in 1992.

History
The Oceanic Railway Museum was founded by EKRail and the UEKN Railway Historical Society in early 1991 and built from August 1991-May 1992, opening in October of that same year.

The museum's first operational locomotives were two 2-10-0 Russian Decapods originally owned by the Sentanese Oceanic Railway and a China Railways KF purchased second-hand from China Railways in 1985 by Vlokouzian State Railways for tourist trains.

Operating locomotives

 * Sentanese Oceanic Railway #505 - An 2-10-0 Russian Decapod. Built in 1917, it was stranded in the United States due to the Bolshevik revolution, and ended up reguaged for standard guage and sold to the Sentanese Oceanic Railway. It was displayed on a private property in Caelum from 1972-1988.
 * Sentanese Oceanic Railway #506 - An 2-10-0 Russian Decapod. Built in 1917, it was stranded in the United States due to the Bolshevik revolution, and ended up reguaged for standard guage and sold to the Sentanese Oceanic Railway. It was stranded in Argentina during repairs following Michael Vlokozu's takeover of North El Kadsre, West El Kadsre and East El Kadsre, and was displayed on a pillar in a city park in Libertad from 1976-1989.
 * Vlokouzian State Railways 1145 - An 4-8-4 China Railways KF. Built in 1935, it was sold by China Railways to Vlokouzian State Railways in 1985 for tourist trains.
 * Speno El Kadsre 12 - A 2-8-0 United States Army Transportation Corps class S160. Built in 1943, it ended up in Greece following World War II as a member of the SEK Class Θγ class. After retirement by Hellenic State Railways, it ended up on an industrial line in Monaco before being sold to Vlokouzian State Railways as their #333. After retirement by VSR in 1972, it was sold to Speno in 1983 for railway track maintenance service in the Vlokozu Union region. It was donated by Speno to the museum in 1996.
 * Vlokouzian State Railways 502 - An EMD SD35. Built in 1965 for the West El Kadsreian Army as WEKA #12, it was transferred to Vlokouzian State Railways in 1969 and renumbered 502. This locomotive was one of many EMD SD35's left stranded in El Kadsre following the dissolution of the Vlokozu Union, as the successors to Vlokouzian State Railways preferred EMD general purpose locomotives. It has seen some regular service on EKRail on occasion.
 * Vlokouzian State Railways 883 - An EMD FP9. Built in 1955 for the El Kadsreian Railway Ministry as EKRM #328, it was transferred to the Railway Line of East El Kadsre in 1958 as RLEK #34, and then to Vlokouzian State Railways in 1969 and renumbered 883.

 * PTVU 0045 - An UAC TurboTrain. Built around 1968 for Canadian National Railways, it later ended up with VIA Rail, and following VIA retirement was one of 6 TurboTrains sold to the Public Transport Authority of the Vlokozu Union. The PTVU reengined the TurboTrains with inexpensive Peterbilt and Kenworth semi truck engines bought directly from their parent Paccar (the original Pratt & Whitney Canada ST6 gas turbine engines were cannibalized for spare parts), and operated them from 1982-1989. It was stored in a industrial complex in Eirabourne from 1992-1998, and was donated by the Public Transport Authority of El Kadsre to the Oceanic Railway Museum in 1999.
 * NDM 5875 - An EMD G12. Built on an unknown date for Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México, it later ended up in Mount Vernon, Illinois, United States at National Railway Equipment. In 2008, an El Kadsreian representative of NRE became aware of the Oceanic Railway Museum's search for a Mexican locomotive, and later that year arrangements were made for 5875 to be donated to the museum. Restoration took place at the National Railway Museum in York, United Kingdom. It began museum service in 2010.
 * China Railways JS-5330 - An China Railways JS. Built around the late 50's, it was donated by the Chinese government through the Chinese Embassy in El Kadsre City to the museum in 2003. It was out of service from 2009-2013 for major repairs.

It was sold to Mahri Rail Transport on October 7, 1991, and operated in the country as 345MT from 1992-2008. Following the retirement and sell-off of most of their EMD SD45's, Mahri Rail Transport donated 345MT to the museum in 2010.

Events

 * Day Out with Thomas - The Oceanic Railway Museum and ETVKK hold a Day Out with Thomas event in early July at the museum. For this event, the museum borrows Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal #15 (a H. K. Porter locomotive modified to resemble Thomas) from the United States' Strasburg Railroad. The museum uses it's own engines and some EKRail locomotives as Thomas' friends. For more information, see here.
 * Ghost Train - Held during the October months.
