Here is the link (below) from where these photos came from and pick a year (click on the thum nail to enlarge) 1918 is a good year, but so are the rest of the war years:

Please enjoy,

former user:
already doing madam, thx

what could these big boxes on the flatcar be for?
water tanks?

Bungle:
water tanks, over axles.. gives a lot of weight.


Were they using pressure sensitive mines on railway tracks?

former user:
wouldn't think so

but anyway every steam Loco is twice the weight of such watertanks at least
so detonating under the engine would be more interesting and then keeping the water  ;)


but indeed, liquid is the heaviest freight available, so this must be the end of the train
and interesting, that the assault wagon is apparently guarding the water

gamer Mac:
The light flat wagon, unloaded, would be very easy to derail if travelling at the front of the train. I would imagine that the extra weight would keep it on the tracks better. Where is the loco in this picture?
