Any more out of place than Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds? And remember . . . "Based in Glendale, California, DineEquity, Inc. (DIN), through its subsidiaries, franchises restaurants under the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar brand and the IHOP brand. With more than 3,700 restaurants combined in 18 countries and U.S. territories and over 400 franchisees, DineEquity is one of the largest full-service restaurant companies in the world."

This is only a feasibility study. Any economic evalulation will show that the construction investment & operating costs of a train (freight and/or passenger) will significantly exceed any potential revenue generation. The only way this could ever be justified is through heavy government subsidies. The private sector could never make this profitable. The Panama Canal is a cash generator. A train project would be cash vacuum cleaner.

VIDEO: Boquete's "4th of July" Parade
John R Hampton replied to NewsLady's topic in "News.Boquete" Archives
Not sure why similar parades with marching bands, military personnel, policemen, firemen, schools, children, baton twillers and thousands of happy citizens all celebrating on a day set out to mark their independence is demeaning to anyone. It was titled "4th of July" with quotation marks to associate it with patriotic public gatherings which is common to the US and Panama and many people understand the celebratory nature of that expression. Did not assume that some people would take it literally since the video is clearly labelled Dia de la Independencia in Spanish. -

You kind of missed the point Keith. Parades are same whenever people celebrate. -
The Keys, Marathon, October 2017 This footage did not make the recent "Road to Key West" video. Only 50 miles from Key West, Cudjoe Key, Big Pine & Marathon were hit with 130 mph winds. Mobile homes & trailer parks didn't stand a chance but many concrete block buildings survived. Key West's historic downtown was miraculously spared. NotSeryus Productions

Road to Key West
John R Hampton replied to John R Hampton's topic in Idle Chatter / Personal Musings
All of this material was filmed by me two weeks ago. Cudjoe Key, Big Pine Key and Marathon suffered tremendous property destruction which was piled on the main road (not shown in this video) Key West was mostly tree and vegetation damage. -
