Commissary Department Feeds and Serves Isthmian Zone
The Panama Canal complex relies on the commissary department of the Panama railroad to feed and clothe Isthmian workers and families, hotels, hospitals, and Navy personnel. Col.

The system runs like a clock, offering broad, low-cost provisions to a diverse workforce across the Zone.
