As far as I know, the fastest travel route between the two (American) coasts at this time was a ship to Panama City, across the Panama Railway to Colon, and then on another ship north. Could anyone give me an estimate of how fast such a journey would take if it was done with utmost haste? I tried internet searches but could not turn up any useful information.

If you know of a faster route at this time period (not counting the Pony Express, we're talking about people travelling) don't hesitate to tell me.

Thanks,
