25/04/2013 Super freight trains set for Scots railways [Scotsman] Half mile long 'supertrains' - the longest ever - are planned for Scotland as part of an expansion of the Mossend freight railhead in Lanarkshire by operator PDS. The firm is to lodge plans this summer for a siding long enough to accommodate 770-metre freight trains, compared to the 600m longest trains at the moment. Britain's longest passenger train, the 16-carriage Caledonian Sleeper, is a quarter of a mile long, or some 400m.
