Some of the world's longest ore trains travel through harsh territory to offload their precious cargo at Saldanha Bay. Nothing can prevent the visitors being overawed by the sheer size of one of the world's largest open-cast iron mines, dwarfing giant ore trucks bearing up to 170 tons of ore each load.
