As a follow up from last week's photo
of the week, CZ Images contributor Bill Fall has come through with
flying colors. Bill took these two photos on one of his
recent trips to Panama. When the Panama Railway Company put in the
new line, they built a new passenger terminal next to the old Cristobal
(PRR) round house which is now deserted. Bill noted that the old
Panama Railroad Monument is across the street from this new railroad
station in a triangle located in the middle of the roads going into
Colon. The old monument still looks good for being +/- 150
years. It is good to see that this historical old monument is
still taken care of. I just hope no one runs into it with a
vehicle as it is so close to the road. Below is a screen capture
off of Google Maps to give you an idea were the monument stands today.
Thank you always Bill for
your outstanding contributions to the website.
