One of the world's longest trains is located in Mauritania.

One of the world's longest trains (or trains) is located in Mauritania, Africa, and crosses a portion of the Western Sahara.  This train runs from the city of ZouĂ©rat, in the middle of the desert, to the coastal city of Nouadhibou.

 This train is used to transport iron ore and runs along a 700-kilometer-long railway line.  The train, including all its freight cars, is approximately 3 kilometers long and carries about 20,000 tons of cargo in a single run.  It is considered the backbone of Mauritania's economy.

 Although they are freight trains, many people also use them as a means of transportation.  Although it is permissible to ride in the freight cars, the journey is extremely hazardous. There is no protection from the sun, and temperatures usually exceed 40°C.  Furthermore, you will be inhaling iron ore dust, making it a harsh journey.
