In 1855, the Panama Railway was the first to operate a major commercial transportation link between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The company also invested heavily in Colón’s infrastructure. An example is the Christ Church By the Sea. Built in 1864, it is the oldest Episcopal church in Central America. Since 2012, the Panama Canal Railway Company has offered two daily trains between Colón and Panama City. This is a fun, historic ride parallel to the Panama Canal.
