Today’s live text updates
RE: https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/117262601088177154
I'd like to kindly point out:
1) I did not have my drone with me on #LongestTrainEU
2) It was another train, not me, who pulled down the power lines at Boden 😄
As I’ve been asked about it a few times, YES there will be a video on YouTube about #LongestTrainEU
Rick Minnich was filming the whole thing
But getting the huge files to the channel’s editor has been tricky while travelling
All being well it’ll be out Friday
No rest here. Off goes Rick to Faro, and I’m changing in Tunes and trying to get to Pocinho today. The 24h delay to #LongestTrainEU makes my #CrossBorderRail the next few days quite complicated!
I admit when in Haparanda I doubted I would get here. But once I started to get going, this worked out quite well. Analysis and photos to follow, for now I am going to get a beer in Lagos somewhere! 😄 #LongestTrainEU
The record for #LongestTrainEU is
125 hours 31 mins

Maastricht is perhaps not the most obvious place to start a trip to Zagreb, but so be it. Via Aachen, Köln and Zürich today, and then onto the EuroNight and the first night train of 2026.
