El Kadsre City Metro

El Kadsre Metro is the El Kadsre City train branch of PTEK which serves as operator of the electrified suburban passenger service in the El Kadsre City railway network which began operations in 1865.

History
In 1862, a public meeting was called for New Japan's first railway network which would link between New Edo (now El Kadsre City) and Ito En. Work began in January 1863 and was completed in 1865.

In 1974, the Public Transport Authority of the Vlokozu Union reviewed complaints about traffic problems in El Kadsre City, and decided to begin building a underground subway system in the El Kadsre City central business district. Construction began in 1975 and ended in 1978, and the El Kadsre Metro Tunnel opened to the public in March 1, 1979 with lines 1 and 2, initially operating with EKCM M20 along with Makato and EKCM D10 stocks. From 1982-1984, line 3 was built and it opened in 1985, and it was run by the Makato stock, as well as the M20 and M21 stocks, built by Takusa. Later on, EKCM M22y stock was introduced, built by.

In 1994, PTEK purchased two of the  prototypes (specifically the Blue and Red trains) from the. The Blue Train was joined with a set of licensed units built by A. Hougaard & Co. and classed as A10 stock, while the Red Train was joined with a set of so-called "clones" built by the Red Train's manufacturer Metro-Cammell and classed as A11 stock. That same year, Line 4, built from 1990-1993, was opened and was initially run by, D10, A10 and M23 stock.

1979 Nagasunai station fire

 * Main article: 1979 Nagasunai railway station fire

On September 3, 1979, the electrical spark caused one of the Brown Swingers carriages to catch on fire, which left 48 people dead and 15 with third and fourth degree burns and the driver stopped the train at Nagasunai station. Although the Nagasunai station recived minor damages by a fire, the carrage was completely destroyed because of the fact the Brown Swingers were made of wood. As the result, the El Kadsre City Metro Tunnel was closed for two months and all Brown Swingers were pulled from service in the wake of the fire - the Brown Singers that weren't donated to museums or scrapped were rebuilt into the double-decker EKCM D10-2 units.
