The
Project
On February
17, 1998, The Panama Canal Railway Company, a joint venture
between Kansas City Southern, a U.S. Class I Railroad, and
Mi-Jack Products, North America’s leading independent
intermodal terminal operator, was awarded a 50-year concession
to rebuild and operate the line.
With an
investment of $80 million dollars, the revitalized railroad
provides an efficient intermodal link between the Pacific
and Atlantic ports and complements the existing hub transportation
infrastructure provided by the Canal, the Colon Free Trade
Zone, the Port terminals, highways and airports.
In addition,
its luxurious passenger service allows travelers to enjoy
a journey through the lush jungles of Panama flanking the
scenic Panama Canal. PCRC is catering both to business executives
commuting between Panama City and Colon, as well as tourists
traveling from Colon’s cruise terminals to Panama City.
