Most Dangerous Train: Train rummaging through dark, beautiful forest, a cup of tea in your hand, a lovely book to read…this is what a lovely train ride looks like. But will you ever board a train has neither a seat to sit on nor a roof?

Today we are going to talk about this journey which is one of the scariest train journeys in the world, takes 18 to 20 hours, but this non-stop train does not even have drinking water.

Travelling in this train is considered extremely dangerous. There is a fight to travel in this roofless train while enduring the torture of 50 degree temperature. This train runs in the African country Mauritania, which has been named Train to Desert.

This train, which passes through the Sahara Desert, covers a distance of 704 km in 20 hours. 3 to 4 engines are required to pull this train of 200 coaches. Actually, this train is a goods train, in which one coach is attached for passengers. However, many people make the difficult journey by sitting on raw logs.

This train is the only means of travel for the people living in Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania. Those who travel by train have to travel continuously for 18 to 20 hours without any stop in the scorching heat of 50 degrees. The special thing is that neither drinking water nor toilet is available in this train. Actually, this train was started to transport iron ore from the Sahara desert of West Africa. By traveling a distance of 704 kilometers, this train transports iron ore from the iron mines to the port.

According to BBC report, thousands of people living in this area do not have any other means of transport, so they are dependent only on railways for travelling. In such a situation, people travel by boarding the coaches of goods trains. They do not even have to spend money for this journey. People travel in open goods trains in the greed of travelling for free.

There are more than 200 coaches in this train. Each coach is loaded with about 84 tonnes of iron ore. The train does not stop anywhere during the entire journey. People travel sitting on top of iron ore for a cheap and fast journey. They have to travel in scorching heat during the day and bone-chilling cold at night. People risk their lives to travel in this train. If you get stuck in some trouble on the way, there is no help. No mobile network, no police, no medical facility. Not only the weather but there is also the threat of sand storms and terrorists on the way.
