The Ghan Railway
The Ghan is the 48-hour, 2,979km passenger train operating on the Adelaide-Alice Springs-Darwin Central Australian Railway through Australia. The Ghan's name is an abbreviated version of its previous nickname The Afghan Express, which originates from the Afghan camel trains that trekked the same route before the advent of the railway.
The Ghan runs twice-weekly from Adelaide to Alice Springs, and once or twice a week to Darwin, depending on seasonal traffic and demand.
