    Rail transport in Central America consists of several isolated railroad lines with freight or passenger service. The most famous one is the Panama Canal Railway, the oldest transcontinental railroad in the world, connecting Panama City with Colón since 1855.

Their market share and profitability went into decline in the second half of the twentieth century and most lines have been decommissioned by the end of the 1990s.
