Awesome video Vic! Thank you and the history part was great as well.

The primary gear (6:55) in the middle is probably the one used for drive purposes and all three gears are most likely used with a transmission - which would have been above the axle and you can see is now removed. Last I read (a few years ago) Panama was dredging where needed to widen the waterway and running into the same problems as previous - movement and inflow of dirt from the edges being excavated. Nice video Vic. Safe travels sir.

Thank you for the information regarding the gears.. They have now opened a new canal (parallel to the one that you saw in this video) for larger, wider ships to go through..

quite a feat of engineering back in the day. Did you have a chance to see the new locks in action?

[@VicStefanu]

No, the new locks cannot be visited but could be seen in the distance..
