THE "sEA.GoING" RAILROAD.
By T. T. MAXEY

YEY WEST Is nearer the eastern
N terminus of the Panama canal, by
almost 300 miles. than any other of our
gulf ports. 1t is separated from the
main land by the Florida keys-a more
or less disconnected string of Islands,
composed largely of coral and lime
stone.
To reap the benefit of its strategic
position. however. direct and quick
transportation with the main land was
necessary. A railroad was the an
swer. Its construction was considered
impractlcable and impossible. But
there are men who Will sndertake any
thing. The late HenryS flagler fur
nished the funds and tha>work was be
gun in 1905. Men from many cllmes,
material Of many kinds and new meth
ods of construction were called Into
service. The winds. waves, a torrid
sun. many known and unknown fac
tors had to he grnppled with and
solved. Even nature had to be over
come The construction must be storm
proof.
From Homestead. where the exten-
sion begins. to Key West, 1t Is 12S
miles. Jumping from island to island
are II miles of concrete arch viaducts
and six miles of steel brldgcs-one of
which contains 243 spans. The con
struction of the line on the islands
proper was comparatively simple.
Joining the island by rail was the
ticklish job.
Thanks to the genius, grit and un-
firing efforts of the engineers, one may
now enjoy the heretofore unthinkable
and unique experience of riding from
Key West to Miami in about five hours
on train running for the most part,
over water instead of on land.
