YOU NEED THE WORLD'S WIDEST WIDE ANGLE FOR THIS!

This picture is a screen grab from the National Geographic video on the Mauritanian Iron Ore Train.



The thin line across the image just below the horizon is the train - the wagons are just visible even if you zoom in, showing the distance from which this was filmed. Maybe VR or sacked panoramas would be the only way to view the whole train!

By the way, the video is worth watching, if only to show what a simple life we live. The fishmonger takes the 30 hour trip with fresh fish from the port, rests at home for two days before repeating the trip to make around $50 a week.
