Pia Mh.Raisi aongeze siku za kukaa nchini Mauritania na kutembelea mgodi wa chuma wa Mauritania ili tujifunze wamewezaje kuwa na ufanisi mkubwa na jinsi reli pia ilivyochangia katika mafanikio ya mgodi huo wa chuma Mauritania wakati makaa ya mawe na chuma Mbeya, Tanzania pamoja na TAZARA haina mafanikio makubwa. tusome zaidi mafanikio ya sekta ya reli na chuma Mauritania:
The
world's longest train runs on the train tracks in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. Mauritania is a country situated in the western part of the African continent.
The
world's longest train runs from Zouerate in central Mauritania to the coastal town of Nouadhibou. The total length of the train is estimated to be 3 kilometers. The train reaches its destination in 12 hours. More than 700 kilometers are covered during this time. The longest train in the world is primarily a goods train. The Mauritanian train ferries iron ore from Zouerate to Nouadhibou. The iron ore is then further processed or packed ready for export to foreign markets. A few passenger compartments are also shackled up with the freight wagons. The wagons are mostly open topped. Some closed wagons are also hooked up to the train.
The wagons are pulled by diesel electric locomotives. The locomotives are powered by a 3300V General Motor drive. The Mauritanian train is pulled by the combined drive power of 4 diesel electric locomotives pulling the 3 kilometers long train in tandem. The total length of the train consists of approximately 200 cars. Each wagon hauls 84 tons of iron ore. There are a number of service cars.
The
Mauritania Railway is the national railway of
Mauritania. Opened in 1963,
[1] it consists of a single, 704-kilometre (437 mi)
railway line linking the
iron mining centre of
Zouerate with the port of
Nouadhibou, via
Fderik and
Choum. The state agency
Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière (National Mining and Industrial Company, SNIM) controls the railway line.
Since the closure of the
Choum Tunnel, a 5 km section of the railway cuts through the territory of
Western Sahara.
Trains on the railway are up to 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) in length,
[2] making them among the longest and heaviest in the world. They consist of 3 or 4
diesel-electric EMD locomotives, 200 to 210 cars each carrying up to 84 tons of iron ore, and a variable number of service cars. The total traffic averages 16.6 million tons per year
