Railway Gun
Germany wasn't the only one with a railway gun
When armored trains are a thing keep this in mind
This was used in WW1 and the invasion of France in WW2
The French made over 550 guns and only 8 where put onto trains
The projectile weighed 161kilograms and a range of 22,700 meters or 14 miles at a muzzle velocity of 840 meters per second.
The Germans quickly took over and designated them as 24cm K(E)558(f)
Three were taken and two where given to Italian conquest.
