Russian OV Series Armored Train

The Russian and Soviet armored-train tradition adapted locomotives and rail cars for protected movement and fire support along railway routes. The O-series locomotive family was widely used in the region, and related engines could form part of armored-train arrangements. Such trains depended on intact tracks and were vulnerable to route damage despite substantial local firepower. Armored trains were especially useful during the Russian Civil War, when railway junctions and supply corridors had great strategic importance. Locomotive protection and artillery cars could be arranged differently for each train. Soviet railway units later adapted the concept to the different pressures of the Second World War.
