The Schneider Coast Defense Train was built in 1913 by Schneider. HistoryThe mobile battery consists of four railroad cars. Two cars have an 8-inch rapid-fire gun, there is an ammunition car that is between the two gun cars, and a telescoping observation car.[1] The advantages of the Schneider train were that it was less costly than a fixed battery of the same firepower; the train allowed a degree of secrecy since it was not in a fixed location; ease of maintenance since it could be stored in a train shed; there was no need to construct new roads for its use; and any railroad tracks laid for its use can also be used by passenger and freight haulage.[2] The cars of the train were arranged with the train engine first, followed by the observation car, then the first gun car, the ammunition car, and then the second gun car. The observation car was placed near the engine so that the commanding officer could more easily place the train where required. The ammunition car was placed between the two gun cars to provide the shortest distance to move the artillery shells to each gun.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |author= |coauthors= |title=A Fort That Travels on Wheels |url=http://www.catskillarchive.com/rrextra/odfort.Html |quote= |newspaper=Scientific American |date=December 20, 1913 |accessdate=2011-03-28 }} 2. ^1 {{cite book |editor1-last=Hopkins |editor1-first=Albert A. |date=1915 |title=The Book of Progress |volume=II |location=New York |publisher=Cricks Publishing Company |pages=127-130 }} External links{{commons category|200 mm coast defense railway howitzer}}
