French railway guns

[toque]

Can anyone confirm if these WW1 French railway guns were in use (frontline or reserve, mobilised or not) in 1940, and if so, how many?

Canon de 95 mle 1888 Lahitolle
Canon de 120L mle 1878 de Bange
Canon de 164 mle 1893 TAZ
Canon de 240 G mle 1884 de Bange sur affût trucs 240 TAZ Batignolles
Canon de 285 mle 1893/96 GL Schneider
Canon de 320 mle 1870/84 GL Schneider
Canon de 320 mle 1870/93 GL Schneider
Canon de 340 mle 1875/79 GL
Canon de 370 mle 1917 Be

I believe these to be the same gun on different mounts:

Canon de 305 mle 1893/96 TAZ
Canon de 305 mle 1893/96 GL
Canon de 305 mle 1893/96 Be Batignolles

The most complete and accurate answer would be the post of February 2nd, 2014 in this thread on this French forum (in French) where the data were vetted by Guy François:
