Talk:Mauritania Railway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's not possible that it only carries 84 tons of iron ore. A ton is essentially a cubic meter of water, a cubic meter of iron ore would weigh more than a cubic meter of water, this train is up to 3kms long - there must be tens of thousands of tons if not hundreds of thousands or even millions.

84 tons is the amount per car, not for the whole train (edited to make that clearer). It adds up to around 17,000 tons for the whole train. OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:38, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
