About this movie: 150 years ago the Panama Canal could not have been built without railroad technology and today the ships would not get through the locks without these tiny, but mighty, locomotives. Meet the Mules!

Our focus is on rail operations at the canal and on the adjacent Panama Canal Railway. The PCR is partially owned, and is operated by, the Kansas City Southern and trains are painted in the KCS Southern Belle paint scheme.

Maps and historical photos the bring this trip and the history of the isthmus, the canal and the Panama Canal Railway, to life. This is a multimodal adventure as we transit the canal aboard ship, then becoming landlubbers to get a great look at the mules in action. We wrap up the adventure taking a Panama Canal Railway train across Panama. The PCR even features a regularly scheduled passenger train!
