The longest trains in the world may be calculated several ways. The largest number of wagons could be one factor, especially for cargo trains. Trains may be limited in size by numerous things such as the power limitations of electrified trains of lower voltage. They may also have limitations according to their drawgear and couplings. The curves along the journey, gradients, and the crossing loop lengths may all limit the size of the trains.

Some feel that they do not have to ride it. They just want to see how long this train looks like in person.

If you have ever stopped at a train crossing and had to wait for a train especially if you got there right when the train began passing, you may think that this is the longest train in the world. This is due to having to wait so long and the train seeming so have a million cars attached to the locomotive. However, it most likely isn’t.
