Panama Canal Company’s assets
from the French, including the railroad. The United States rebuilt and
operated the railroad until 1979, when it was transferred to Panama under
the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty. In 1998, Panama privatized the
railroad and awarded a 50-year concession to the Panama Canal Company, a
joint venture of Kansas City Southern and Mi-Jack Products, to rebuild and
operate the line. The new "reborn" railroad began operations in
2000. The spectacular views of this train ride will make this an unforgettable
trip. Also visit the City of Colon including lunch at local restaurant. Cost per
