Transnet Freight Rail has reclaimed the world record for the longest freight train, operating a 696 wagon train stretching 7.6 kilometres across South Africa.
The train travelled 861 kilometres from Saldanha in the Western Cape to the Sishen Iron Ore Mine in the Northern Cape over the weekend of 17 and 18 October.
