  1. Crossing the Canal.

  2. Off to Costa Rica! This bus has seen better days, maybe I should have taken one of the transfer-at-border options after all. I wonder if I rode the same TicaBus vehicle when I was here in 2009.

  3. Shared taxis came by the Metrobus stop offering $1/person (vs $0.25 for Metrobus) to Albrook metro but by this point I was feeling stubborn. When the Metrobus finally arrived it was impossibly packed; I rode with seven other passengers in the boarding area next to the driver.

  4. The Panama City station is in the middle of nowhere. Still trying to avoid using any taxis on this trip, I walked 500m along a road without sidewalks to a Metrobus stop.

  5. I spoke too soon about being faster than the bus, we arrived in Panama City nearly half an hour late. (When the train ground to a complete stop for a few minutes between Gamboa and Miraflores the passengers joked that it must be 'en grève'.)

  6. Freight traffic on the railroad seems pretty significant, we passed one double stack freight train enroute and I saw another on the move at the Panama City end.

  7. Approach to the Culebra Cut (and the only ship I saw, not sure why there was so little canal traffic)

  8. There are electrification-style gantries along most of the route but no actual catenary (the train uses diesel locomotives).

  14. I think this is the nicest train bathroom I've seen. Unfortunately there was no water.

  15. Colón being infamously uninviting to tourists, on arrival I walked about five minutes to the train station and immediately boarded the train back to Panama City.

  16. Taking the Panama Canal Railway round-trip involves waking up obnoxiously early & then being stuck in Colón 9 hours. So instead I took a bus to Colón, a bit slower than the train (~80min vs ~60) but much cheaper ($3.25 vs $25) and more frequent (every 20min vs once per weekday).

  17. Despite the 2000s-era glut of dollar coins in the US, Panama uses its own substitute dollar coins instead.

  19. Unfortunately the bus that would have let me say "fuck it let's do both" was sold out. Though that also would have required waking up at 5am.

  20. 6. velj

    Followers: Should I use my one remaining slack day to ride the Panama Canal Railway tomorrow, or should I continue to Costa Rics tomorrow so I can use the slack day to stop in Monterrey/Austin/elsewhere or to deal with unforseen problems?
