🚅 As you might guess, trains come in all shapes and sizes. From a single-carriage passenger train weighing appx. 40 metric tons to freight trains with multiple locomotives, dozens of wagons and thousands of tons of cargo.
In the US for example, a typical long-haul freight train can weigh anywhere from 3,000 to 18,000 tons, while in Europe, maximum weights are usually far less, and they go up to 4000 t.
However, there are examples of some EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVY AND LONG TRAINS, and, in this video, we are going to talk exactly about them!
This video includes: Mauritania Railway (Zouérat-Nouadhibou, 20,000 t), Daqin Railway (Datong-Qinhuangdao, 20,000 t), Quebec North Shore and Labrador (Labrador City, Labrador-Sept-Îles, Quebec, 30,000 t), Aurizon Iron Ore Train (Central Queensland-Esperance, 32,320 tons), Fortescue Railway (Pilbara-Port Hedland, 40,000 t), Railways of the Soviet Union (Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan-Urals, Russia, 43,400 t), Norfolk and Western (West Virginia-Ohio, 43,699 t), South African Railways (Sishen-Saldanha, 70,543 t), BHP Australia (Pilbara-Port Hedland, 72,191 t), BHP Australia (Yandi mine-Port Hedland, 99,734 t).
