I believe there are even longer ones in Australia.

Also, they have locos at intervals in the consist rather than all at the front.


EDIT.
The longest train ever was a freight train:

Length: 7.353 KM
# of cars: 682
# of engines: 8 diesel/electric
Company: BHP Iron Ore
Location: Port Hedland, Australia
Length of trip: 275 KM - 171 Miles
Date of trip: June 21 2001
