Choum to NDB - train times
Can anybody tell me the general departure time from CHOUM of the iron-ore train headed WEST to NDB.
I have read that there are 3 trains daily, but only one takes passengers. Does this mean only one has a passenger carriage, my point being can you go iron-ore class on the other 2 trains, or only on the passenger train.
In the spirit of give and take, and to show I have searched, here's what I have found out:
The Train leaves NDB heading East at about 14:30(africa time) daily.
Journey time: 11-12 hours, 1000 Ouguiya for a crowded 2nd class carriage, or free in the ore-cars.
- A very good account of the journey is on this travelog:

The SNIM site ( http://www.snim.com/carnet/trainEn.html )doesn't seem to have any schedule info - am I missing a link?
