Excerpt from The Panama Canal: Illustrated by Color Photography From the Original Authochrome Photographs Nothing could be truer than the statement that the canal workers have removed mountains. Culebra Cut might well be termed The Grand Canyon of the Canal, for so stupendous will it appear when completed that the most vivid imagination can scarcely imagine it the work of man. For nearly a century it has been the dream of nations, that some day man would succeed in tearing asunder the mountains forming the Continental Divide, allowing the waters of the Atlantic to unite with the placid Pacific through a great chan nel created by man, for the welfare of his posterity. Where the canal crosses the Cordilleras a great ravine had to be ex cavated in order to allow the water from Gatun Lake to flow through to the locks at Pedro Miguel. The cut at this point is about 500 feet deep and a half mile wide at the top. The excavation here has literally been done step by step, for while one lot of steam shovels were digging, and loading upon cars the rock and earth from one elevation, others were at work at lower elevations. A group of drills are shown in the center of the picture, drilling holes which are loaded with dynamite and exploded to loosen the material for the steam shovels. To the left of the drills, is a dirt train loaded with rock and earth, ready to start for the dumping ground six miles away. In the lower right hand corner is shown one of the huge steam shovels, which digs and loads five cubic yards of earth or rock each time the dipper is swung.
