How are loops counted for the longest-route Baron cards (Theodore Judah, longest railroad)?

Experienced players agree on the counting method but no official ruling was found.

Count the longest chain in which each link is used once and which has no branches. For example, a path A-B-C-A-D counts as 4 links, but A-B-C-D-E-C-F would count only 5 links along the longest legal path. Doubling straight back over the same link does not count twice, and two parallel connections between the same pair of cities count as a single link. Links are counted, not cities.
