BHP run on 21 June 2011, comprising 682 wagons and hauled by eight 6000 hp General Electric GE AC6000CW diesel-electric locomotives controlled by a single driver with a total length of 7.352 km (4.57 mi) on the 275 km (170.88 mi) iron ore railway to Port Hedland in Western Australia – total weight 99,734 tons on a 1,435 mm gauge line.These are one-off runs, sometimes specifically to set records. Canada - Canadian (Via Rail) runs 4,466 km from Toronto to Vancouver and can be as long as 30 cars in the summer months, though more regularly it operates with 18 to 22 cars with up to three F40PH-2D locomotives.Australia – The Ghan, running the 2,979 km from Adelaide to Darwin, was lengthened to 44 coaches totalling 1,096 m for nine weeks from May 2016.Two DB AG ICE 3 trains combined, on the Fils Valley Railway, near Lonsee, Germany. Sishen–Saldanha railway line ore trains on 1,067 mm ( 3 ft 6 in) – 4.1 km.They consist of 3 or 4 diesel-electric EMD locomotives, 200 to 210 cars each carrying up to 84 tons of iron ore, and 2-3 service cars. Iron ore trains on the Mauritania Railway are up to 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) in length.Muara Wahau coal to Bengalon port – 2.196 km.The 'Super Vasuki' freight train was 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long had a total of 6 locomotives pulling 295 wagons of coal.

Leigh Creek coal-2.8 km, 161 wagons and two locomotives.It was driven by eight locomotives distributed along its length to keep the coupling loads and curve performance controllable. The record-breaking ore train from the same company, 682 cars and 7,300 m or 7.3 km long, once carried 82,000 metric tons of ore for a total weight of the train, largest in the world, of 99,734 tonnes.This operation seems to have ceased since the trunk line was fully double tracked in May 2011. BHP used to run 44,500-tonne, 336-car long iron ore trains over 3 km long, with six to eight locomotives including an intermediate remote unit.BHP iron ore train has typically 268 cars and a train weight of 43,000 tonnes carrying 24,200 tonnes of iron ore, 2.8 km long, two SD70ACe locomotives at the head of the train and two remote controlled SD70ACe locomotives as mid-train helpers.A BHP Billiton Iron Ore train with 264 cars heads out of Port Hedland on the Mount Newman railway towards Newman, Western Australia, with lead units at right, and distributed power units at left.
