[edit] Should be renamed Panama Railroad
The terms railroad and railway are synonims, the former used in the United States, the latter in Britain. The Panama Railroad was American-built. Its builders were not likely to use the term railway.
(I don't know who that was; it wasn't signed)
Agreed. In point of fact the official name of the entity during the American tenure in Panama was indeed "Panama Railroad." HiramShadraski 18:19, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
