Just for a reference. Panama is not in Eastern time. It is in Central Time.
Hope this helps. {|

Thanks, that's why I always have to go to a timezone conversion site. It takes care of daylight saving issues and gives me the time with respect to GMT. Here we see a 5 hour offset from GMT. Which is Central time except as you see Panama does not do DST.

Chateau d If:
The only way I can make sense of this shot of the teams on foot is a reversed image at Miraflores The rail line is east of the canal and you can see those overhead poles in the satellite image. The sun is low in the shot and from the SEMA plot above you can see that the time of day has to be 5:00 pm plus or minus a half hour. It can't be an early morning shot because the canal does not point that way (70 degrees azimuth).

Chateau, that particular shot of the canal is the Pedro Miguel Locks. The Miraflores Locks are farther southeast from there, close to Panama City.
I wish you could tell distances on Google Earth. I found a dock with matching small boats (white roofed like the water taxis the teams are in). It's south of the Miraflores locks and about halfway between there and the dock where the fast forward is. It looks way too far for the teams to be walking to but the tracks do run all the way down there.
