The Mauritanian iron ore train is one of the longest and heaviest trains in the world and the most unique and incredible railway journeys one can take.

The train is up to 3 km (1.8 miles) in length, travels on a single track of 704 kilometres (437 miles), with 200 – 300 freight carriages, weighing up to a total of 84 tons.

The sole purpose of the train is to export iron ore from the mining town of Zouerate to the Port of Nouadhibou via Choum in Mauritania, Northwest Africa.

But the state agency, Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière, allows locals and tourists to board the train and use it as a mean of transportation between inland of the country and the coastline.

One cannot expect any levels of comfort one would find on other passenger trains around the world, though. This train has no ticket, no conductor, no dining cart, or any sort of announcements.

It is not bound to any timetable and may leave earlier or later than the usual departure time. This also means the arrival time is not fixed to a certain time and a single trip can take from 11 to 15 hours under the sun, at an average temperature of 40°C.

@HasTurkeyJoined Sto lat, as my Polish friends say.

@HasTurkeyJoined And looking up, I noticed I was 36 years late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
But then the bus came and knocked me flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and said “No”.

@HasTurkeyJoined I believe there’s a tradition that the arrangements for joining are reversed on a leap day.

@wjreynolds @DrPopCultureUSA Send Me No Flowers is hilarious, I laugh out loud every time I see it. Lover Come Back is great too but Doris is more weirdly dressed in that one.
