Aspinwall (now known as Colon City) is located in Panama and was a US Port. It
became a stop over for those coming from the California Gold Rush back to New
York or visa versa. Many merchants went to make money by opening shops in
Aspinwall.
In 1864 the cost of the trip would be $250. They would travel by train to New
York City where a ship would be waiting to take them west to Aspinwall, Panama
(Then part of Columbia). From there they would journey across the Isthmus by
train to Panama City and then again by ship to San Francisco and Seattle.
