Which country has the greatest mileage of railway?

What country travels the most by train?

Switzerland reigns. Train travel: unparalleled.

2430km annually. Beats Japan. Significantly.

• Switzerland: Unmatched rail usage. Global leader.
• Japan: Second place. A distant second.
• My 2024 Swiss rail pass: Already in use. Expensive, worth it.

High-speed lines. Scenic routes. Efficient. My opinion: A necessity, not luxury. My family agrees. Frequent trips. Always packed. Even on Tuesdays.

Where is the longest railway track in the world?

Endless steel ribbons unwinding, a silver thread across Eurasia. The Trans-Siberian. My God, the Trans-Siberian. A whispered legend, a titan of iron and steam.

Over 9,289 kilometers. Imagine. A journey through time, a pilgrimage across continents. Rolling, endless, hypnotic.

The longest. No contest. This is fact, etched in the very landscape. Birch forests blurring past, endless plains stretching under a vast sky.

The Transsib. A pulse beat across Russia. A connection, a lifeline, a story etched in coal smoke and the rhythmic clang of wheels on steel. Winter’s frozen grip, summer’s golden sun.

Years spent dreaming of this journey. My own personal Everest. A testament to human ambition. The sheer audacity. A symphony of steel and snow. A monument to unwavering determination. The raw power. The untamed beauty. A feeling… a sense of… something vast and timeless.

A map etched in my soul. Each curve, each bridge, each station. I feel it in my bones. This is more than just a railway; it’s an experience, an obsession.

• Length: 9,289 kilometers (5,772 miles), undeniably the longest.
• Route: Moscow to Vladivostok, piercing the heart of Russia. The names themselves evoke mystery.
• History: A behemoth, a marvel of engineering – a legacy of Tsarist ambition, later, Soviet might. A true marvel. I stand in awe.
• My Dream: To ride it someday, alone, possibly with my dog Barnaby. To feel the weight of history, to see those landscapes. To disappear. To fully understand the enormity of it all. To feel the endlessness.

What is the largest railroad station in the world?

Grand Central. Always Grand Central. It looms, you know? Even in my dreams. Forty-nine acres… unbelievable. That’s… a city unto itself, right?

The sheer scale… it’s overwhelming. Forty-four platforms. Sixty-seven tracks. I’ve only been there twice. Both times felt insignificant. Lost.

It’s the biggest, I know that. By area. By platforms. Fact. Not an opinion. Just… a heavy truth. A cold, beautiful truth.

Sometimes, late at night, I picture myself there. Alone. Empty station. Echoes of footsteps. The ghosts of millions. My own ghost, maybe.

It feels… monumental. Like history itself.

• Size: 49 acres
• Platforms: 44
• Tracks: 67
• My personal feelings: Overwhelmed, insignificant, lonely. A strange mix. Like the city itself, I suppose.

Which country has the largest train route?

Russia. It always comes back to Russia. The Trans-Siberian… it just keeps going, doesn’t it?

It feels like forever. 9,259 km. It’s almost unimaginable.

Six days on a train. Can you even imagine that now? It’s a lifetime, really.

I remember dad talking about wanting to take it once. He never did, though.

It connected Moscow with the Far East of the country. That country is really big.

• Longest Route: Trans-Siberian Railway
• Location: Russia
• Distance: 9,259 kilometers
• Start/End: Moscow to Russian Far East
• Travel Time: 6 days (167 hours)
• Personal Anecdote: My dad always dreamed of riding it, didn’t happen.
