Trams in Panama began with an electric tramway in Panama City in 1893 and remained in service, with interruptions, until 1941.[1] Passenger rail transport in Panama dates back to the 1850s, when the first transisthmian railroad line across Panama was beginning to be built to supply an alternate route to California in search of gold and wealth.[1] The Panama Railroad was operating between Colón and Panama City by 1855. An attempt to build a battery operated tram network in Colón in 1910 was not successful.[1]
