The Ghan - Australia And The Worlds Longest Train

 rains come in a variety of types and lengths.  There are freight and passenger trains of various sizes around the world but the record holder for the longest passenger train in service is the Ghan.  

The train usually has two locomotives and 30 cars on it, but has been known to have up to 44 cars.  This makes it a world record holder.  The Guinness Book of Records lists this train as the longest.  The Ghan's length is 774M 2359 FT.  It takes 3 days to travel from Adelaide to Darwen.  To ride the Ghan, my guess this would be a bucket list item for anyone especially a rail enthusiast.  To read more about this train and if you want to book a ride check the links below.
