Here the camera takes in a wide sweep of Panama Canal construction, with a railway embankment and a bridge running across the scene. Theodore Roosevelt, the subject this picture is filed under, pushed the canal project forward after he took office in 1901, and he made a point of visiting the Isthmus in 1906, the only sitting president to travel abroad while in office up to that time. Views like this one document the scale of earthwork and rail logistics that made the project possible, and they show how much of the canal was built by moving earth and materials by train.
