EKCM Red Carriers

The Red Carriers, also known as the R train and Red trains, were the type of rolling stock that were used by El Kadsre City Metro and was operated from 1932 to 1987. They were the first steel-bodied trains in the El Kadsre City railway network. From 1932 to 1941 and again from 1947 to 1950, the total of 651 trains were built.

When the Red Carriers entered service in the 1930s, they were called the R trains and by the 1950s, they became known as the Red Carriers following the introduction of the blue-painted Makato trains. After the formation of El Kadsre City Metro, the Red Carriers underwent the refurbishment program, with 87 being refurbished. Due to safety cocerns and the presence of abestos in the trains, the Red Carriers were pulled from service alongside the Makoto trains and were buried in the Nakatori desert in 1987. Only 15 of the Red Carriers were survived. While 2 units were donated to the museum, 1 unit is stored in the Wakatotan Workshops, 3 of the units run on the Kaowa Railway and 3 full sets of the Red Carriers, which were restored which removed any trace of abestos, currently runs on the Holiday Train schedule.
