LONG RAILWAY RUNS
Great Britain holds the record of having the seven longest daily non-stop runs among the world's railways—whether Diesel, electric or steam—and all are operated by steam engines. They are headed by the two 392.7 miles journeys of the London North-eastern Railway's Flying Scotsman. Next come four London, Midland and Scottish non-stop runs between Euston and Carlisle, 299.1 miles, and then the L.N.E. 268-mile Newcastle-King's [Cross journey.
