Key West suffered a number
of commercial setbacks during

making a rapid comeback be-
cause of the recently constructed
massive concrete highway which
brings motorists directly into the

There are points along the no.
mile route where the motorist
seems to be entirely out of sight

is anchored with steel and con-

one of the many things that gives

(F1orida MagaZlne) :
Nowhere in the world is there

Gently completed on the remains
of the widely-known "Flagler's
Folly" railroad, is built along
succession of small keys and
stretches of open waterway, one
7-mile span in the chain of
bridges being the longest ever
built over open water.
The dream of the late Henry
M. Flagler in 1905 that a railroad
line to Key West would be a
boon to mankind and at the same
time a profitable venture offers
another lesson IN mans victorious
conquest of the elements againt
the advice of less courageous
souls. Flagler's plan to span the
distance was declared foolhardy,
but he completed the job at a
cost of SO million dollars. The
indomitable Flagler died about a
year after his project was finish
ed, but it earned 10 million dol
lars for his estate during the
first ten years. Heavy rail freight
between Florida and Cuba and
the general prosperity of Key
West was responsible for the
success of the venture. During
