Original Line Station: Las Cascadas

Las Cascadas: A town located just south of Obispo in the Gaillard Cut area. Its name comes from a waterfall approximately 15 meters high located on the Obispo River as it passes through this site. The small settlement served as a storage and maintenance point for the locomotives and rolling stock used by the Panama Railroad during the construction of the Panama Canal. Because of this, it featured important buildings to support operations, including: the commissary, a hotel for engineers and surveyors, the air compressor building for the drills, and the coal hopper used to fill the trains that supplied the other towns along the line.

It reached a population of over 5,000 people during the peak of the construction work. Its depopulation was ordered by President Taft in a signed decree in December 1912, but it was not carried out until after 1914. This town is one of the few that did not end up underwater after the creation of Gatun Lake, since the main axis of the Canal was to the northeast of the town.
