The train consists of 210 cars, each capable of carrying up to 84 tons of iron ore. Locals traveling from the port city must travel some 704 kilometers through one of the most deserted and inhospitable places on Earth. There is only one passenger car in the entire train, which not everyone can afford to enter. Residents are forced to travel for twenty hours on iron ore mounds. Daytime temperatures often exceed 40°C, while at night they can drop as low as 5°C.

One fully loaded passenger compartment, darkness, dirt, cold and sand. Cooking on gas cylinders, drinking sweet chai – all this becomes part of their daily life, an attempt to function normally in this tough circumstances.
