German troops using a Schienenwolf (Rail Wolf), also called a Schwellenpflug (Sleeper Plough), to destroy rail tracks while withdrawing from Soviet territory, 1944 [709×635]
Nasty. I’ve seen some video clips of those in action from old documentaries – just totally rips up the sleepers. The "total war, total destruction" thing.

This was used in the US Civil War also. Nice video showing it in operation.
