Very interesting. I would have thought that was milk on the left and mines on the right

Well, milk does help grow strong bones and muscles…things that would be helpful when moving the mines…hmmmmmmmmm

You guys!
Randy, cool photo. Where did you find that??
The Netherlands use(d) 700 mm (2 ft 3+9⁄16 in) gauge for industrial railways. That track looks about 25" but I can not be certain. The huge and interesting British Royal Arsenal used 450 mm (17+23⁄32 in). This image of the RARy has what looks to be sea mines on display.
Fun fact, in the 60s and 70s, AHM released MiniTrains, HO models which ran on N track. They were models for industrial railroads. I did not even remember them until I stumbled across them on evilbay a few years ago; they were revived and improved and expanded, this is their website.

Thank you Fred. The picture was just a random pop-up that I thought was cool. Interesting way to move munitions.
