This is now the longest train journey in the world


21 days. That's the time it will take to complete the largest train journey in the world, pictured above. 6,200 miles (9977 kilometers) that go from Yiwu, on the East of China, to Madrid, the capital of Spain. That's much longer than the Trans-Siberian Railway, which at 5,772 miles (9,289 km) was the previous record holder.


The Washington Post writes:



On Nov. 18, an 82-container freight train left the eastern Chinese industrial city of Yiwu. It was embarking on a landmark journey that is supposed to end 21 days later, in December, in Madrid.



Here's video of the gigantic train:
