It looks like 76mm russian AA gun. But the barrel looks too long...

OR

It could be naval 75mm gun. That gun also performed as AA occasionally.

Nothing to do with the anti-aircraft gun. This naval guns Kane. Apparently it is 75 mm.

Yes, but in the photo, it seems to me, a little shorter barrel. However, this gun in the Russian version had many variations.

Most carriageless train guns were naval in origin, of most nations.
