Switzerland: On the 115th birthday of its railway department, Switzerland has surprised the world by inaugurating the longest train which is almost two kilometers long. The nearly 1910 meter long electric train has 100 coaches and was built to mark the 175th anniversary of the country's national Rhaetian Railway and has been named the world's longest train. It is named Capricorn with a gross weight of 2990 tonnes and 25 such trains will be built. When it was passed through a certain space, it looked like a red snake from the bill-eating paths. A large number of people were there to witness this historic event. On the occasion of its inauguration, the train was run for 25 km where it went from the surface to 1788 meters above sea level and from there it reached a height of another 1000 meters. But amazingly, it is traversed through diagonal routes including 22 tunnels and 48 small and big bridges. But running such a long train is not an easy task because even the slightest carelessness can affect the entire system. This is the reason why speed control systems are installed in each box which works automatically to reduce or increase its speed according to the engine. Thus all parts of the train work 100% in harmony. The first time the train failed because it had seven drivers and there was a problem with the brakes due to a communication breakdown between them. After this, a quick contact telephone system was installed and 21 more technicians were placed on the longest train. All the drivers stayed in touch when the rail went through narrow passages, tunnels and uphills. But initially its speed was set at 35 km. Then the train is also equipped with special cables and systems to control the kinetic and mechanical systems. In the first phase, 3,000 people traveled in it and were provided food along with entertainment.
