I'm no expert, but I imagine if you were shipping goods from Japan to say Florida/Philly/NYC, that the extra cost and time of switching modes would eat into any fuel or time savings you'd make anyway when compared to shipping via the Panama Canal.

It depends whether the goods are time-critical or not. If they're not, they'll do fine just sitting in Panama.

After all, bits of coal don't complain when they're late!

OpenTTD constant applies.

Passengers won't pay enough to make such a retarded project viable and the other cargo takes a boat :mrgreen:
