Not a Big Bertha, which (as we all know) didn't bombard Paris anyway!

28cm SK L/40    

The entire train was captured to include the locomotive, ammunition car, and box cars( crew sleeping quarters.)   Only the rail gun was saved and shipped to Aussie land.   They did some testing and managed to dispose of everything save the barrel which can still be seen in the land down under.
