Posted by Harald Schmitz on May 24, 2006  cool, nice shot, Billchor Posted by RailfanAlex on May 25, 2006  Great catch! Posted by Colorado Zephyr on May 26, 2006  Super catch there, Bill! I'm always surprised how the spellings differ - I considered this the Corinth Canal. The French started it in the 1890's and Greece finished it. From http://www.sailingissues.com/corinth-canal-diolkos.html - Athens to Corinth - a distance of about 80 kilometres - you leave Attica to enter the Peloponnese while crossing an Isthmus, a narrow and fairly low-lying, 6 kilometres wide, tongue of land which links Central Greece (Sterea Hellas) with the Peloponnese as well as with the east parts of the Saronic Gulf. Thanks for sharing this gem, Bill! Posted by Matthew Hicks on January 18, 2007  Classic over and under shot, eh?
