Description

Railway guns were used a lot in Europe, and the Soviet TM-3-12 is one of the larger survivors.  It was built in 1938 around an Obukhov 12-inch gun from the battleship Empress Maria, and was assigned to the Soviet naval base at Hanko, Finland.  During the Russo-Finnish War, the base and gun were captured by Finnish forces.  TM-3-12 was repatriated after World War II and is now on display at the October Railway Museum in St Petersburg.
