EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the train leaving for Panama from Aspinwall, present-day Colon, Central America. Published in The Illustrated London News in 1865, this illustration transports us back to the 19th century when rail travel was a thrilling and novel experience. The image showcases the bustling public station as passengers eagerly board the steam train. The powerful steam engine stands at the forefront, ready to propel them on their journey through Central America's lush landscapes. This historical photograph is a testament to the development of transportation infrastructure during that era. As we gaze upon this archival gem, we are reminded of the immense importance of railways during this time period. Not only did they connect distant regions and facilitate trade but also played an instrumental role in shaping global commerce and cultural exchange. It is worth noting that this particular railway holds great significance as it eventually became part of one of mankind's greatest engineering feats - The Panama Canal Railway. Built by Welsh engineer Ken (not mentioned) and operated by The Panama Railroad Company (not mentioned), it forever transformed international trade routes. This remarkable print serves as a window into our past, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and historical context surrounding transportation advancements in Central America during the 19th century.
