Rail Transporter for Karl Gerat

The Morser Karl was a tracked artillery piece armed with a 54cm or 60cm mortar for bombarding heavily fortified positions. While the mortar was tracked it weighed 124 tons and could only manage 10 km/h so was only capable of moving very short distances. Typically it was move by rail and reconstructed ready to fire under siege conditions. This rail transporter was specifically designed to support the self propelled guns with traversing pedestals mounted on two five axle rail carriages. Suppo
