Eurotunnel
Record: 50.50 km
The Channel Tunnel (French: Le tunnel sous la Manche; also nicknamed the Chunnel) is a 50.45-kilometre (31.35 mi) rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent, in England, with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, near Calais in northern France, beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover. It is the only fixed link between the island of Great Britain and the European mainland. At its lowest point, it is 75 m (250 ft) deep below the sea bed and 115 m (380 ft) below sea level. At 37.9 kilometres (23.5 mi), the tunnel has the longest underwater section of any tunnel in the world, although the Seikan Tunnel in Japan is both longer overall at 53.85 kilometres (33.46 mi) and deeper at 240 metres (790 ft) below sea level. The speed limit for trains through the tunnel is 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph).Website:https://www.eurotunnel.com/

View of the English side of the Channel Tunnel taken from a light aircraft we had a ride in from Lydd Airport. You can see Shuttles loading and unloading in the Terminal and to the left is the engineering sidings at Cheriton and the big loop which allows the shuttles to turn and point towards France again. In the middle top of the picture Dollands Moor freight Yard can just be seen. And if you look close enough a pair of DB livery 92`s are dropping down with the Scunthorpe to Ebange steel train (which I only noticed when I got this on the computer). Folkestone Freight terminal.
