This picture dates back to the Civil War. It shows a small railroad car, transporting a mortar  ........  found  on a  wander  through  google images.

There's an Osprey book on American Civil War trains. Good range on photos and pictures of armoured locos, rail gun, mortars and loads more.

That rich friend I had, the one who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink and is single, recorded a radio 4 programme about morricone which described everything in great detail.
He also had magazines that showed all the test cards from every country in the world with letters from the people who scanned the airwaves looking for them.
