For a minute there, the title fooled me into thinking the actual vessels were bypassing panama via rail..
There have been systems like that to replace locks in the past. Not for the whole of the country of course but essentially wide rails that lift a shift up a hill along some rails.
The ships will be pulled overland Fitzcarraldo style.
