The Amazing Panama Canal: Miraflores Locks and the Panama Canal Railway

The Panama Canal is one of the most impressive engineering projects of the 20th century. It has transformed shipping. Join us as we get a peek at the Miraflores locks, which lift ships up 26 meters above sea level so they can float through Lake Gatun. Catch a quick glimpse of the Panama Canal Railway, which has been running from Atlantic to Pacific (oh the traffic is terrific) since 1855, essential to the construction of the canal.
