‘Super Vasuki’, India’s longest, heaviest freight train was operated on August 15, as part of the government’s Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebration.

The effort came from South East Central Railway (SECR), which ran the massive 3.5-km-long train with 295 wagons carrying 27,000 tonnes.

This is the longest and heaviest freight train ever run by the Railways.

The total amount of coal carried by this train is enough to fire 3000 MW of power plant for a full day.

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared a video on Twitter of the Super Vasuki, which takes about four minutes to cross a station.
