Railroad guns where without exception repurposed navy artillery made ground mobile on rail carraiges, so all all where technicals.
What makes this train especially interesting it it was designed as a fully integrated rapid mobilization rail mobile combined arms motorized company to solve a unique problem, how to guard the very long baren trans-siberian from Chinese attack without massive wasteful garrison forces in the middle of nowhere.
Each BP-1 train has a twin TG-20 armoured locomotives, (heavily modified TG-16 diesel locs) that were fully NBC sealed, had a command copula for the trains commander added atop the drivers compartment with 12 attached cars, mostly carrying 8 x BTR-40A ZhD road rail armoured cars, 2 x PT-76 light amphibious tanks, and 2 x T-62 tanks (then the newest soviet MBT)
There was also a fully NBC sealed HQ car, and an AA car, both with quad ZU-4 14.5mm guns.
each BP-1 has attached to it no less then 5 BTL-1 tank trains, each an armoured switcher locomotive with two T-62 tank and infantry platforms. between them each BP-1/BTL-1 could cover a huge area, with the trains operating as the command centre and transport section of this sizable force.
The objective of this force was to deploy to a choke point, like a rail bridge and hold any attacking forces off until the rest of the soviet forces could get there and begin a counter assault and push them out.
All in all it was a very practical mobile solution to protecting the suddenly hostile and unguarded 4000km long Chinese/Soviet Border.
THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER DOESN'T EXIS
the intended result looked like this, basically a #trumptrain rap music meme parody based on actual history of train riding 30's dictators who actually had to fight their way to power not just watch the worlds "greatest democracy" fall like a stack of cards. Also the battles often involved actual armed and armoured trains with guns.
For example of a real trump train, this panzerzug photographed in berlin, during the ALMOST successful Kapp lutwitz Putsch of 1920, which was effectively the prototype for trumps January 6 riots.
