"Is the Panama Canal Train actually running some trips in December? I see they ran a couple of special ones in October and November, but your website makes it appear that you'll do the Panama Canal Train/Agua Clara Canal Lock/Colon Fort regularly. We're interested in the trip if it's going to run."
Response from organiser:
We were told that in December this tour will start running again after the train has been idle for two years. It has been frustrating for us but there is no set date in December. It could go until next year in January. We will contact you when the train is running to Colon.
