What is the longest load to travel by rail?

Got a length in mind? Sure you don't want to increase it? Once you have that figure in mind, click on the link below. The answer will become apparent as you read. ....

We crossed back from Orkney today and drove via John O'Groats and Wick before heading south through Inverness. About 6 miles north of Wick on the A99 we drove over a narrow gauge (metre-gauge) line. This was a surprise and it needed to be investigated. .... This post is the result.
