Guinness World Record Attempt - Longest passenger train in the world - preparation in Switzerland

As part of the 175th-anniversary celebrations of Switzerland`s railway system, Rhaetian Railway (RhB) is officially attempting to operate the longest passenger train in the world on October 29, 2022. The 1,910-metre-long train with 100 coaches will travel along the Albula/Bernina UNESCO World Heritage route from Preda to Bergün and over the Landwasser Viaduct. The current record was set by a 70-car service that ran in 1991 between Ghent and Ostend in Belgium. A 60-passenger car train run by Dutch public transport between Kijfhoek and Eindhoven in 1989 is the second longest.
