Sort defeats the purpose of a canal. You still have to off-load and reload ships. Fine for transport to the interior, but I don’t see the purpose as an inter-ocean connector.

I don't see this as a connector, but rather a distributor. If all they wanted was a connector you could build a much shorter line near the canal. But then again, we already have the canal.
