The Panama Canal Railway is one of the great train rides
of the world. Along with its colorful history, the railroad follows a
picturesque path across the Isthmus of Panama. The line flanks the Panama
Canal passing through lush rainforests, cruising alongside the Canal's
locks, through the historic Gaillard Cut and gliding over slender causeways
in Gatun Lake.
It effectively links one of the World's less traveled but
most attractive tourism corridors between Colon on the Atlantic Coast and
Panama on the Pacific. Passengers disembarking at Cruise Ships Terminal
can enjoy different shore excursions offered in Panama and Colon including
a ride in the historic railroad as did our forefathers in their quest for
wealth during the California Gold Rush.
Passenger service between the cities of Panama and Colon
began in June 2001. The daily service caters to business executives
commuting to work between the two cities, as well as to tourists in general.
