PUMaC 2012 Geometry B Problem 7

Assume the earth is a perfect sphere with a circumference of 60 units. A great circle is a circle on a sphere whose center is also the center of the sphere. There are three train tracks on three great circles of the earth. One is along the equator and the other two pass through the poles, intersecting at a 90 degree angle. If each track has a train of length L traveling at the same speed, what is the maximum value of L such that the trains can travel without crashing?
