Longest single train route is the Trans-Siberian, 6300km, 876 stops.

Longest theoretically possible train trip is from Lagos to Singapore, 18,755km - if you don't miss any train and every one arrive on time, it would take 21 days.

On a side note, i would love to see Russia getting agreement with China to modernise T-S and maybe even expand it. That would be immense boost to Eurasiatic trade and development of Siberia.

Isn't that Lisbon, not Lagos?

It's Lagos, Lisbon is noticeably more to the north.
