Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лис 2023
- The Mauritanian Railway, one of the world's longest, deadliest and heaviest train in the world transports iron ore from a remote mining town in Mauritania to a coastal city cutting through the Sahara Desert. The ride lasts anywhere between 20-30 hours and a few brave locals use it to travel back and forth with supplies. The dangerous trek leads to several unfortunate deaths every year as people fall off the train.

Would you ride the iron ore train?🚂🤯
Yes. It's been on my bucket list for a while
You wanna do it with me? I been having a urge to go do it aswell@@radicalnomad1
No. You are a legend for doing this, bravo
Crazy imagine building that track, pretty hardcore . Thanks man
For real, can't even imagine how they did it! 🤯
You are very brave to do this! We've seen few other travelers do this, but none of them had the epic cinematic shots that you did, or the drone footage. Amazing filming as always. We've also never seen someone do it in a cart full of the iron ore. I guess they do this route the opposite way, when the carts are empty. HUGE kudos to you my friend!
Wow, thank you very much guys, always appreciate your kind words! 🙏🏼
What a ride! Looks pretty tense😮also surroundings looks pretty unusual as lithuanian
Indeed! A little mental and physical battle but totally worth it! 🤪
I heard about this train a few months ago and it has been on my bucket list ever since!
Hope you can take the train too at some point, it's totally worth it!

I can answer straight away that ‘no’, I don’t feel like riding that train😅 what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, clearly, it’s probably the most challenging experience you have ever done,right?
Cinematography is amazing! You captured really amazing moments 😍amazing video!
Indeed one of the most challenging ones for sure! Thanks for the kind words as always! 😍
Love the video!! The camels are big. The sand looks unreal and cool. There are so many stars in the sky. The views are so pretty. That train is so long. That looks like it was a very long ride. -Rory❤❤❤
