Zaamurets was an armoured train built by the Russian Empire in 1916. While originally made to fight in the First World War, it was extensively used in the Russian Civil War by Bolsheviks, Ukrainian anarchists and most notably the Czechoslovak Legion. It was then given to the White Movement to assist Chinese warlords, before eventually being captured by the Empire of Japan. During its service it was frequently renamed and reconfigured as it changed hands and traveled across Eurasia.
