The Culebra Cut was the deepest and most difficult stretch of the Panama Canal, a channel blasted and dug through the Continental Divide. This panoramic view shows the railway that ran along the excavation, the line used to haul spoil away from the work face. Theodore Roosevelt, who took office in 1901 and pushed the canal project forward, is the reason the board links this scene to his presidency. Work through the cut was slowed by landslides and disease before the American-led effort was completed in 1914.
