Longest train services of Indian Railways

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of longest train services of Indian Railways contains regular passenger rail services that are currently scheduled and running directly between two cities of India which are more than 2,000 km (1,200 mi) apart. The special trains, coach changes, shunting or station transfers are not listed here.

Indian Railways (IR) is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 67,312 km (41,826 mi) and 7,112 stations.[1] In 2014–15, IR carried 8.397 billion passengers annually or more than 23 million passengers a day (roughly half of whom were suburban passengers) and 1058.81 million tons of freight in the year.[1] IR runs 12,617 passenger trains and 7,421 freight trains daily.[2] Since Indian Railways operates many trains per day, it is difficult to include train services with less than 2000 km length into a table.
