Answer comes a bit late, but nevertheless... This is/was pociąg pancerny nr 13 ("Generał Sosnkowski"). It was bombed while on move and derailed on September 10th in Łochów by blast of near miss of a 250 kg bomb.

Here more on the train. And here gallery with photos of the bombed train.

Regards,
MJU
