A Swiss railway company has claimed to hold the record for the longest passenger train in the world. The train set the new record on Saturday while traveling on one of the most spectacular tracks through the Alps. They achieved this feat by running a 1.9km long train with 100 coaches and four engines on the Albula/Bernina route from Preda to Bergwen.
The route was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. This Pataha also has the distinction of passing through 22 tunnels. Some of them pass through mountains and over 48 bridges, including the famous Landwasser Viaduct. The distance of this trail is about 25 km (15.5 mi). The entire journey takes about an hour.
