The longest train in the world, more than 7km long, has 682 cars

The BHP Billiton iron ore train in Australia is the longest train in the world developed by a famous mining company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.

The BHP Billiton iron ore train is 7,353 meters long, has 682 cars, and weighs 100,000 tons. The entire train is controlled by 8 locomotives, allowing it to pull 82,000 tons of goods at the same time.

The amazing thing is that it only takes one person to control such a long train.

The BHP Billiton iron ore train has a travel speed of about 27 kilometers per hour, and takes 10 hours to complete the 275 kilometer journey.

The sight of a moving train is likened to a dragon with only a head and no tail.

Initially, this train was only 3,000 meters long, but the company later increased its length and gradually grew it to 7,352 meters due to increasing pressure on mineral resources.

The length of the BHP Billiton iron ore carrier is about 18 times the length of a conventional passenger ship, about 400-600 meters.

And the world's longest passenger train is 1,910 meters long, named Rhaetian of Sweden. This train has a total of 100 carriages and 4,450 seats. It takes 7 drivers and 21 technicians to operate the world's longest passenger train.
