The Panama
Railway or Panama Railroad was the world's first
transcontinental railroad. It stretches 48 miles (77 km)
across the isthmus of Panama from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Pacific Ocean. The Panama Railway was built during the
period of 1850 to 1855. The infrastructure of this
functioning railroad was of vital importance to the plan to
build the Panama Canal decades later. Source:
