The Pacific-side passenger station of the historic Panama Canal Railway, connecting Panama City with Colón across the isthmus. The journey follows the Panama Canal through tropical rainforest, alongside locks, the historic Gaillard Cut and Gatún Lake. The Corozal station itself occupies a refurbished former U.S. military commissary, adding another layer of Canal Zone history to the experience.
