Steam shovel in the cut at Bas Obispo
Item Information
- Title:
- Steam shovel in the cut at Bas Obispo
- Description:
-
"The Culebra Cut commences near Bas Obispo - from this place - where the Chagres River enters Gatun Lake, the cut extends for nine miles, to Pedro Miguel. All between here and Gatun will be under water. The drawing was made at the bottom of the cut, and the various levels on which the excavations are made may be seen. The dirt trains, one above the other, are loading up from the steam shovels on each side of the old river bed in the centre. The machinery for shifting tracks and unloading trains is wonderful, but not very picturesque. J[oseph] P[ennell]."
