World's Longest Train: 682 Carriages, Requires 8 Engines, But Runs Without Passengers- Know Why
World's Longest Train: Counting the carriages of this train could take all day. Its length is so vast that it could fit 24 Eiffel Towers inside it. This train has so many carriages that it requires 8 engines to pull it.
According to multiple reports, the title of the world's longest train is "Australian BHP Iron Ore." It’s important to note that this is not a passenger train but a freight train. It first ran on June 21, 2001. The length from the first engine to the last carriage is 7.3 KM. This train, with 8 locomotives and 682 carriages, is used for transporting coal.
The Australian BHP Iron Ore train is not government-operated; it runs on BHP's private railway line. The company designed this railway and train specifically for the transportation of iron ore. Due to decreased demand, the number of carriages has now been reduced to 270, and the number of engines has been cut from 8 to 4. (Images: Zee News Hindi)
