"EXTREME MACHINES" - "WHEELS of STEEL" 4/5

Is the Eurostar really the longest train in the world with only 18 cars? I rode on VIA rails The Canadian and it had 28 cars.

@southparkline1 An NY state freight train can have around 100 cars dragged by three locomotives.

[southparkline1]

@dvamateur Sorry I meant passenger train, yes I know American freight trains get over 100 cars. The NS down here in NC easily breaks 100 cars on many trains.

120 years (not quite!) is the time between the first railways in Australia (1854) and the transcontinental standardisation of gauge in 1969.

The Trans-Australian Railway was built between 1912 and 1917, but until 1969 there were various track gauges west of its Kalgoorlie terminus, necessitating changes of train.

old subway....

[kawazaizzr400]

ffs if the track is so long why dont thay put a high speed train on the track if would cut the traverling time down

[hydroruf]

The ticket price would be the same as an airfare. In the middle of the nullabor it would be to hard to continually service the track.

[merakhagen]

Cost! I cannot believe it took them 120 years to complete this line.

[Amtrak1194]
