A recently discovered news article printed in the Krupmark Chronicle a few decades ago stated a group of workers in the Spontoon islands were clearing the bramble bushes around a derelict trestle which was bombed out in the War, and found the wreckage of a strangely modified trolley car that appeared to have been built to carry a large, retractable, three inch gun turret. Evidence at the wreck site showed that the trolley must have landed on it's side, then slid down the embankment ending up with one side, exposed to the elements, while the other was buried in the loose soil, preserving the metalwork remarkably well. A local metal worker and historian was able to carefully remove the panels with an unusual piece of World War II "Nose Art" painted on it, and after five year's careful work restored the panel to it's former glory.

The history behind of the heavily armed trolley car seems to be a bit obscure, but some guessed the rail vehicle might have been the equivalent of mobile island defenses, supposedly used to repel enemy invaders trying to storm the island. On the plus side, there were no remnants of the former crew found in the wreckage, so it's believed they survived to defend Krupmark Island for the duration of the war.

The Islanders are reluctant to speak of the prewar history of the Island, but a few of the seniors and "Ancient ones" seem to recall some rather "Wild Times" of way back then. Who knows what other secrets might be revealed as the Island continues it's clean up efforts to make the Island more applicable towards the growing tourist trade? Perhaps we'll never know for certain.
