The Mauritania Railway: From Zouerat to Nouadhibou

Serving as the source of half the nation's economy, the Mauritania Railway stretches 700 kilometers long, connecting the mining town of Zouerat to the ports in Nouadhibou. For a lot of the people living in settlements all across Mauritania, the train is the closest to modern civilization that they have seen. Every day the train transports iron ore from the mines to the ports and on its way back, it brings passengers with it.
