New York Times 100 years ago today, March 15, 1913:
Only One of Six Construction Tracks Left in Operation.
PANAMA. March 14.— The slide on the east bank of the Culebra Cut, which first moved into the cut on the night of Feb. 5, made another rapid movement downward to-day. It raised the bottom of the cut, near the centre, for a distance of 1,000 feet, to a vertical height of 30 feet, destroying five tracks and overturning two steam shovels. There is now only one construction track in operation.
The slide has ceased moving, and the work of removing the mass of earth has been begun already and will be carried on vigorously.
