Some routes – those that are Gray colored – can be claimed using a set of cards of any one color. When a route is claimed, the player places one of his plastic trains in each of the spaces of the route. All the cards in the set used to claim the route are then discarded. A player may claim any open route on the board.

Here's what the rule book says: Ticket to Ride Rules wrote: When one player's stock of colored plastic trains gets down to only 0,1 or 2 trains left at the end of his turn, each player, including that player, gets one final turn. The game then ends and players calculate their final scores.
If two (or more) players are tied for the longest train, then they each score 10 points. The player with the most points wins the game. In the unlikely event that two or more players are tied for first place, the player who has completed the most destination tickets is the winner.
The Federal Railroad Administration does not currently set any limits on train lengths – and also doesn't regularly track train lengths or their associated risks. That has allowed freight railroad companies to occasionally operate trains up to 8 kilometres (5 miles) long.
If you have 100 points otherwise, your score is 110 if you complete the route, and 90 if you don't. There is no middle ground. The 10-point longest route bonus is really just an incidental bonus. I don't think 10-points is enough to alter a destination route strategy to pursue it.
