Longest Freight Train in The World

Longest Freight Train in The World



The length of a train, including the longest trains, may be measured in number of wagons (for bulk loads such as coal and iron ore) or in metres for general freight. Train lengths and loads on electrified railways, especially lower voltage 3000 V DC and 1500 V DC, are limited by traction power considerations. Drawgear and couplingscan be a limiting factor, tied in with curves, gradients and crossing loop lengths.
