what is the longest train
The Ghan is comfortably the world's longest passenger train with its sister train in Australia, the Indian Pacific, the next longest at 2,540ft. Although the Ghan is the world's longest passenger train in operation, there was a one-off service that ran back in 1991 that even eclipsed this. A passenger train created by the National Belgian Railway Company (NMBS) measured 5,685ft, almost 1.1 miles, and consisted of 70 coaches pulled by one electric locomotive.
