Australia's longest-ever grain train has rolled across north-western New South Wales carrying 5,000 tonnes of wheat.

Comprised of five locomotives and 73 wagons stretching 1.3km (0.8 miles), the train left the town of Narrabri on Wednesday.

It later unloaded its cargo of wheat bound for markets in Southeast Asia at the port of Newcastle.

Drones shot video of the bright yellow train as it snaked its way across the Australian countryside.

Where did 3 loco's go 

At the other end. We get some long trains down here with two engines on one end and one on the other (I guess so they can go in either direction without turning around)

Good posting Lester...

I reckon some of the iron ore trains in the north of W.A. would be bigger.

OIC, beaten to it.

That's a lot of train for just one record.
