What is the longest and most exhausting single train route in the world?

It's Lagos-Singapore.

Almost 19 thousand kilometers in length (double the Trans-Siberian), the Lagos-Singapore is the longest international railway route in the world: it starts from Portugal (city of Lagos) and reaches Singapore (capital of the Sovereign Republic of Singapore).

In the photo you can see how the itinerary ends in Saigon, Vietnam. However, a high-speed line has recently been inaugurated which connects Kunming (China) to Ventiane (the capital of Laos): from there it has therefore become possible to reach Thailand without interruptions passing through Bangkok and then going down to the end of the Malaysian peninsula, with terminus - precisely - Singapore.
