It is generally observed that freight trains have a large number of coaches which makes them look very long.
But now in the world such passenger trains have been developed which are surprisingly very long. Today we are mentioning one such train.
Do you know which country has the world’s longest passenger train? If your answer is no, then we tell you where this amazing train runs.
According to the news, the 100-bogey train, spread over a distance of more than a mile, takes a tour of the Swiss Alps in Switzerland.
At least Switzerland’s Rhaetian Railway claims to have broken the record for the world’s longest passenger train.
The 1.19-mile-long train that runs in the Graubunden region of Switzerland can carry up to 150 passengers. The railway route was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. There are 22 tunnels in this route and the train passes through 48 bridges while going round the hills.
According to Rhaetian Railways, we are celebrating the 175th anniversary of Swiss Railways and this world record was attempted on this occasion.
According to the company, during the Covid-19 pandemic, we faced difficulties and lost 30% in revenue, which is why we want to make people aware of our World Heritage route.
The train travels 15.5 miles through the Alps in an hour and people line up in the valley to catch a glimpse of it.
Well, some freight trains are longer than it but no other passenger train can match its length.
A Belgian train has held this record since the 90s, but it has no official status. It should be noted that the train service in Switzerland was started on August 9, 1847.
