Indian Railways is among the world’s largest rail networks, operating over 13,000 trains daily and transporting more than 4 crore passengers every day. It also features landmarks like the world’s highest railway bridge. Amidst this vast system, the longest train in India stands out as a unique engineering marvel.

Introduction of Super Vasuki

The longest train in India is a freight train named Super Vasuki, stretching over 3.5 kilometres in length. It consists of 295 coaches, making it an extraordinary sight and a logistical powerhouse.

Operated With Six Engines

Super Vasuki is powered by six locomotives that work in coordination to move the massive load. When the train crosses a level crossing, it takes a noticeably long time for the entire formation to pass through due to its enormous length.

Built for Heavy Coal Transport

This train primarily transports coal from Korba in Chhattisgarh to Rajnandgaon near Nagpur, playing a crucial role in fueling power plants across India. In a single trip, Super Vasuki carries around 27,000 tons of coal.

Duration and Travel Time

The journey from Korba to Rajnandgaon takes approximately 11 hours and 20 minutes. Despite its length, the train maintains operational efficiency to deliver its heavy cargo across states.

Inspired by Indian Mythology

The train is named after Vasuki, the mythological serpent associated with Lord Shiva. Its snake-like appearance as it moves along the tracks resembles the coiling form of Vasuki, giving it both a functional and symbolic identity.

Significance in Indian Rail Infrastructure

Super Vasuki is not just India’s longest train, but also a symbol of Indian Railways’ capability in handling high-capacity freight logistics. It exemplifies the country’s growing infrastructure and its ability to support large-scale industrial transport needs.
