Armored Trains saw most of their action in the 19th and 20th century particularly in the First and Second World War. Yet, the question is, why used armored trains in the first place? For this we look at the strengths and weaknesses of armored trains. Furthermore, we also cover their requirements and missions. Cover design by vonKickass.
