 Photo by Richard L. Holt In January of 1855, the Panama Railroad was completed. This railroad was the first railroad to connect the Atlantic at the Caribbean and the Pacific at the Gulf of Panama. US built this railroad and also owned it. From the Atlantic port it traveled southeast to reach the Pacific port, just as the Panama Canal does today.
