This view turns to a street in Gorgona, a small town along the Panama Railroad, where the line ran between Panama City and the Caribbean coast. The Canal Zone was a U.S.-administered strip from 1904, and towns like this one changed quickly as canal work reshaped the surrounding land. The card's caption gives no date, but the color halftone printing points to a later reproduction of an earlier stereo photograph. Its record also flags its data as unverified, so its details are best read as a general picture of the place and period.
