land train

Linked vehicle caravan

A land train is a road vehicle hauling multiple trailers in a single connected unit, used for transporting goods across long distances where railways don't reach.

Common in remote regions of Australia and Canada, land trains can stretch over fifty meters: The land train kicked up dust for miles across the outback.

The term also applies to small trackless trains that carry tourists or shuttle passengers at airports and theme parks.
