    french armored trains in WWII - were there any? I know they had some in WW I but found no data of armored trains use in WWII - please help.
    Also some railway guns info would be fine -All I found was pictures with no info of their use in battle.

    Don't know of any, just the German, Polish, and Russian trains.

    I've hard from armoured trains used by the army in Indochina, both in the war against Thailand, as well as against the vietminh.

    Those are the only one's I am aware of.

    I'd be very surprised it their weren't some kicking around to support the Maginot Line.

    There were certainly railguns supporting the Maginot line, but no armoured trains in the sense as for example the poles used them.

    I was thinking more in terms of supply trains.

    From what I know, if there were any armored trains, there would be quite few and most would be at the Maginot Line (from my sources)
