Lionel posted a version of this article on their FaceBook page. While it may have been the longest rail journey, it definitely wasn't a continuous journey, as trains had to be changed because of different track gauges along the way.

"The train set off from Yiwu in eastern China on November 18, chugging its way through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany and France, before ending its journey in Spain's capital, Madrid"
Do Chinese diesel electric or electric trains "chug"?

Typical journalism of our era, i.e. they have no clue!
Those old Dash-seven GEs are probably chugging by now, even if not when new. Makes you wonder how many maintenance dollars have been thrown at these guys over the years...probably more than enough to keep an SY or JS running !
If there were varying gauges, does that mean all those containers had to be moved
from car to car, or, as the EBT, different trucks rolled under lifted cars, or ?
