Panzerlok Br57 Armoured Locomotive

During WWII the German national railway (Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, DRG) saw armoured trains as a way of continuing to preserve and advance German military presence by keeping a strong military hand in the state owned railroad. The Br57 was based on a Prussian series G10 locomotive with a 0-10-0 wheel arrangement. They were first built in 1910.
