From the book "Armored Trains of the Great Patriotic War" by Maxim Kolomiets: "Construction of armored platforms of depot No. 1 "Death to the German occupants" of the 48th ODBP (separate division of armored trains) in the Depot named after Ilyich [Lenin]. The armor-welded hulls of T-34 tanks with turrets are clearly visible".
The angle does not allow to say what exactly is the armored train (for example, it could be an armored train No. 1 "Rosa Luxemburg" from the 11th ODBP), but most likely, we can see either a light armored platform either of the PL-37 type or of the modified PL-35 type (up to the PL-37 level) produced by the "Krasny[Red] Profintern" plant in Bryansk.

Here's a Soviet one in action circa 1941
maybe the smallest armoured train to see active service
