Jay B Rhodes in Panama Canal

[edit]

Another innovation of Jay B Rhodes was his side dump car which was used in the construction of the Panama Canal. This dump car would save time in money to complete the construction earlier than expected. Cynthia Jeffrey (talk) 23:23, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
