Very cool Dave...
The ЖДТ-3 (ZhDT-3) Soviet railroad torpedo was developed by the Ordzhonikidze Machine Plant in 1935 as a weapon against enemy armored trains. It consisted of a two-axle, battery-powered trolley armed with a 500 pound bomb containing 220 pounds of high-explosive. The ZhDT-3 had a top speed of 37 mph and a range of about six miles. Production started in 1938. While many of these were in service in 1941 at the outset of the war, there is no record of their actual use in combat.
