The Mauritania Railway is the national railway of Mauritania. At more than 430 miles long, the Mauritania Railway has been transporting iron ore across the blistering heat of the Sahara Desert since 1963.
One of the longest and heaviest trains in the world, the 1.8-mile beast runs from the mining center of Zouerat to the port city of Nouadhibou on Africa’s Atlantic coast.
The railway had numerous positive aspects. It would provide a fast connection to Sudan and enable Sudan's resources to be within France's reach.
Additionally, the railway was supposed to transform the region and make it a leading producer in cotton and agricultural goods. The cattle population and rice production would increase dramatically and benefit society.
The train is the bedrock of the Mauritanian economy and a lifeline to the outside world for the people who live along its route.
