Immense coal stores planned for Panama Canal facilities
Plans for the Panama Canal era foretell vast coal basins at Cristobal on the Atlantic entrance and Balboa on the Pacific. Storage totals reach about 290 900 tons at Cristobal and 160 000 at Balboa, with half submerged to aid wartime use and half above water for regular vessel needs.
