4 engines, 100 carriages = total length of 1,910 metres (~1.2 mi)

Traveled from Preda to Alvaneu in southeast Switzerland The entire journey of about 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) took about an hour

Also, freight trains around the world have often been longer. The longest train was in Australia.

It's perfectly possible to add additional information ; many people often seem to like it. The passenger train article doesn't talk about freight trains, so people who read the article may like to get some additional info.

I'm perfectly aware that the article is about passenger trains and that freight trains are not passenger trains. I assumed people with a basic level of competence would figure out the same without getting confused.

I'll take that apology now. Next time, try not to be such an abrasive asshole - especially as above, when it is unjustified.

I apologise for your confusion, and I regret that those little paws of yours are stuck onto dried out sticks Skippy
