Shots of the Canal. The "mule" is a powerful locomotive with a cog-wheel drive that keeps the big ships centered in the canal chamber.

Thanks for the comments and the pics. When you think about it, not much at all has changed over the past 100 years.

Thanks for the memories. As a battalion commander, I helped close out the U.S. military presence in Panama. One of the best tours of my career.
Many of the skyscrapers you mentioned were, at that time, built by drug cartels for money laundering. It was haunting at night to see but a few illuminated windows in a vast array of buildings.

I was stationed at Summit Naval base, past Fort Clayton, out in the boondocks. Great duty.
