1852 CE to 1863 CE

The gold rush traffic restores Panama's prosperity, even before the completion of the railroad.

Between 1848 and 1869, about three hundred and seventy five thousand persons will cross the isthmus from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and two hundred and twenty-five thousand will cross in the opposite direction.

Prices for food and services are greatly inflated, producing enormous profits from meals and lodging.
