Gorakhpur all set to have longest railway platform in world:
Due to re-modelling of the station yard of Gorakhpur Junction, the city will soon have the world's longest railway platform.
Till now Kharagpur was the longest platform with its length of 1,074 metres. Gorakhpur will be of 1,300 metres. The signalling system of the station is being modernised leading to rescheduling of several trains till October 6.

because length of a standard goods train=0.625 m & length of a Mail/Exp=0.577 m,so 2 goods train as well as Mail/Exp train can be accomodated in a PF of course their will be cross over points in b/w to switch over to other line, in case front portion of the PF is already blocked by some other train.
that is for extreme circumstances...& PF#1(the longest PF) itself is in Loop Line...& though PF & loop lines are different things but can exist simultaneously
