Meet the massive 1.8-mile Mauritania Railway, a desert titan weighing as much as 156 million Filet-O-Fish sandwiches! This monster train battles 120°F heat, endless sand, and warped “sun kinks” to haul iron ore across 430 miles of the deep Sahara. Generating a huge 9% of Mauritania’s GDP, it’s a vital economic lifeline where brave locals regularly hitch a highly perilous, intense ride right on top of the moving cargo.
