My grandfather worked on the railroad during the war. The Dutch railways continued to ride with dutch people who were forced to do this work. So...if you see these straffing of trains you might think there are only "bad" germans in it....but his was mostly not true. He told me this when i was a little boy, and of course he was no weapen expert.

He told me that the aircraft guns could penetrate thick steel. He mentioned bulletholes right trough the wheels of a train.

The locdriver was not onprotected in his cabin. There was a little concrete bunker in it were he could hide. I don't know if this was common, but he mentioned it. He also said that there was a great difference in the penetration of concrete or steel. The locdriver was very well protected.
