The Panama Canal Railway

Friday, 1 February 2019



We returned to Panama City on the daily passenger service from Colon. The railway predates the canal by almost 50 years and is still an essential link between the two cities. Mostly used for freight, the passenger train runs from Panama City to Colon in the early morning, and returns in the late afternoon.

The railway station in Colon.
Our group had the observation car reserved.
Most of the time the train runs through forest and has little view.
A glimpse of Gatun Lake.
Another view of "Titan" at Gamboa.
Sunset in the Galliard Cut.
Ships heading south in Miraflores Lake.
