History
Since the invention of the railroad, trains have always played a major role in wars, particularly for troop transport.
But even as early as the Civil War, specially armed armored trains were used in active combat.
For about a hundred years, ironclad trains were running the railroads of Europe.
To this day, only a few survive.
The Motobronevagon MBV-2.
Produced in 1938, this self-propelled vehicle was armed with three 76.2mm guns and ten machine guns, with a crew of fifteen.
Only two of these heavy-class armored trains were built, which saw extensive action in WWII against the Nazis.
One of the trains is now on display at The Kubinka Tank Museum
