It is!German Schienenwolf : a rail-mounted device used in military campaigns, for tearing up behind it the rail track which it was being hauled along -- used in situations where the line concerned had become a liability rather than an asset, to the military forces concerned.
Don't know, I fear.Walschaerts patented his valve gear in France but not in Belgium, why?
(He was in charge of the works at Brussels-Midi 1844-1885)
Heusinger -- a German gentleman?..
An identical valve gear was devised later elsewhere, by whom?
