How many meters is the longest train you have ever been on? According to statistics, the length of a train is basically between 400 meters and 600 meters and generally consists of 15 to 20 carriages.
Recently, the world's longest train appeared in Switzerland, with a length of nearly 2 kilometers, breaking the Guinness World Record.
A passenger train in Switzerland departs from Preda, passes through several viaducts and mountain tunnels, travels on the Rhaetian railway network in the Swiss Alps, and finally arrives in Filisur. The mileage is about 25 kilometers, and a very spectacular section is completed.
According to relevant media reports, this train was manufactured by the Rhaetian Railway Company in Switzerland. It consists of 100 carriages and is 1910 meters long.
It has been certified by Guinness World Records as the world's longest narrow-gauge passenger train, requiring 7 drivers and 21 technicians to operate together, with a top speed of 35 kilometers per hour.
The route that the train traveled was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. It passes through 22 tunnels and 48 bridges, including the curved Landwasser Viaduct. The entire journey takes more than an hour.
Many railway enthusiasts lined up in the valley to watch the trains, and many took out their mobile phones to take pictures and record.
Rhetienne Railways director Renato Farsciati said the record aimed to highlight some of Switzerland's engineering achievements and celebrate the 175th anniversary of Swiss railways.
