===== FACTOIDS =====
factoid: a briefly stated and usually trivial fact

The Panama Railway or Panama Rail Road is a railway line that links
the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean across Panama in Central
America. As of 2008 it is jointly owned by the Kansas City Southern
Railway and Panama Holdings, LLC. The route stretches 48 miles (77 km)
across the Isthmus of Panama from Aspinwall (now called Colón) to
Panama City (by way of Gatun, Bujio, Barbacoas, Matachin, and Summit).
Referred to as the inter-oceanic railroad when opened in 1855, it was
later described as representing the world's first "transcontinental"
railroad.

The infrastructure of this still functioning railroad (now called the
Panama Canal Railway Company) was of vital importance for construction
of the Panama Canal over a parallel route half a century later. The
principal incentive for the building of the rail line was the vast
increase in traffic to California owing to the 1849 California Gold
Rush. Construction on the Panama Railroad began in 1850 and the first
revenue train ran over the full length on January 28, 1855.
