Balboa Heights was the administrative headquarters for the U.S.-owned Panama Canal Company during the period 1903-79 when the Canal Zone was in operation. Murals in the administration building still in use by the Panama Canal Authority depict the canal's construction. The Canal Zone Library and Museum founded 1914 in Balboa Heights exhibits relics and miniatures of important ships in Panama's history. The Canal Zone Government and the Panama Railroad Company renamed the Panama Canal Company designated as the civil government and operating agency respectively of the Canal Zone and the Panama Canal effective July 1 1951 by an act of September 26 1950 Superseded by the Panama Canal Commission. The Panama Canal Railway is a railway line linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in Central America. The route stretches 47.6 miles 76.6 km across the Isthmus of Panama from Colón Atlantic to Balboa Pacific near Panama City.2 Because of the difficult physical conditions of the route and state of technology the construction was renowned as an international engineering achievement one that cost US$8 million and the lives of an estimated 5000 to 10000 workers. Opened in 1855 the railway preceded the Panama Canal by half a century; the ship canal was later constructed parallel to the railway. Known as the Panama Railroad Company when founded in the 19th century today it is operated as Panama Canal Railway Company reporting mark: PCRC. Since 1998 it has been jointly owned by Kansas City Southern and Mi-Jack Products and leased to the government of Panama. The Panama Canal Railway currently provides both freight and passenger service. The line was built by the United States and the principal incentive was the vast increase in passenger and freight traffic from eastern USA to California following the 1849 California Gold Rush. The United States Congress had provided subsidies to companies to operate mail and passenger steamships on the coasts and supported some funds for construction of the railroad which began in 1850; the first revenue train ran over the full length on January 28 1855. Referred to as an inter-oceanic railroad when it opened it was later also described by some as representing a "transcontinental" railroad despite transversing only the narrow isthmus connecting the North and South American continents. For a time the Panama Railroad also owned and operated ocean-going ships that provided mail and passenger service to a few major US East Coast and West Coast cities respectively. The infrastructure of this railroad was of vital importance to the construction of the Panama Canal over a parallel route half a century later. Panama Canal Company hardcover
