Such trians were also in use (still are?) in Estonia. One trian can be seen
in Haapsalu, just checked their homepage, but there are only pictures of the
engines.

Anyway, it is a 3 car train, a tanker with water etc., a rebuilt passenger
car with added doors in the middle for equipment. The car has a few rooms, 2
small offices, one for the crew and one work/stock room.
Finally, a small box car with equipment.
I might be able to find some picture if anyone is interested.
These trains have been in use. They were used in such hard-to-get places,
but also caused by then tanker trains - up to 66 tankers in one train each
with 30,000,000 liters.
