While not a gun the Chehalis-Centralia RR of Chehalis, WA has something of great interest. It is a Model 1918 railroad car mount for a 12-inch seacoast mortar. These cars were built in the early 1920s to make obsolete seacoast artillery more mobile. While all the guns were scrapped in the early days of WW II this car survived at the Bremerton Navy Base. There is an 8-inch gun on an M1918 Railway Mount, less car, at the University of Tampa, Tampa, FL. Images See also List of railway artillery Citations Bibliography Hall, D Major.
