I believe that a passenger train to be the longest in the world would need to consist of all passenger cars. Most of the length of this train is autoracks. I don't count this as a passenger cars. It is absolutely a great photo, but the New River Train is 28 cars, and they are ALL passenger Cars.

Good Point, Amtrak calls it the longest so I guess it depends on the definition of passenger train. Longest mixed perhaps.

Yes. It must be the longest mixed train. Very interesting train because of the freight cars.
