American History. A masterpiece of railroad engineering, the Overseas Railroad was often called "The Railroad That Went to Sea." Begun in 1905, the Extension crossed the waters of the Florida Keys with magnificent concrete spans and opened in 1912. For years, thousands of passengers enjoyed the breath-taking trip across brilliant seas and tropical islands. Then came the devastating Labor Day hurricane of September 2, 1935---and the end of "The Eighth Wonder of the World."

Old Florida and Keys lore,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Railroad That Died at Sea: The Florida East Coast's Key West Extension (Paperback)
If you're a railroad buff and a fan of the Florida Keys, then this is a great read under a palm tree on the beach or by the pool... great story about the development of the state of Florida and its history.
