THE SNAKE OF THE DESERT – The famous Iron-ore Train of Mauritania looks something out of a Hollywood action-adventure movie as it snakes out across the desert along the border of Mauritania and Western Sahara. The Mauritania Railway is the national railway of Mauritania and consists of a single, 704-kilometre (437 mi) railway line linking the iron mining centre of Zouérat with the port of Nouadhibou, via Fderik and Choum. Trains on the railway are up to 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) in length, making them among the longest and heaviest in the world. They consist of 3 or 4 diesel-electric EMD locomotives, 200 to 210 cars each carrying up to 84 tons of iron ore, and 2-3 service cars. The total traffic averages 16.6 million tons per year. Passengers are also occasionally transported by train. Passenger cars are sometimes attached to freight trains, but more often passengers simply ride atop the ore hopper cars freely. Passengers include locals, merchants, and occasionally some adventure tourists. Conditions for these passengers are incredibly harsh with daytime temperatures exceeding 40 °C and death from falls being common.
