I just came back from Panama and did a tour of the Canal. It is quite the sight. One comment I would like to add, when the rail cars are talked about in your video, they were referenced as "pulling" the ships. While on my tour, they had a live audio commentary as the ships were using the lock. They explained that the ships move forward under their own power and the rail cars provide only lateral and stopping force. I also thought that the cars pulled the ships through the locks.

Yes it is a series of aquatic elevators which lift a ship 85 feet and then bring it down to sea level . The credit for this brilliant concept goes to Maj. General George Washington Goethal of theUS Army Engineers . The US has erected a monument in his honor .

that's not correct . Both Pacific and Atlantic ( actually Carribean sea ) are at same level . Panam canal was built so that a way could be found through the mountains . Gatun lake is at 85 feet . That's why ships are raised and lowered to this height .

Sea level is sea level and it is used as a reference, however there is a nine inches difference between caribbean and pacific, this difference can be increased by the range tide of the pacific in the panamanian coast. A sea level would have created a current which force would had depended upon different factors.

It works pretty much as a water elevator, raising ships from one ocean to gatún Lake and then lowering them to the other.
