| Florida's Great Ocean Railway: Building the Key West Extension |
| By : Dan Gallagher |
From 1905 to 1916, thousands of laborers and engineers engaged in an amazing construction project - building a railroad line from Miami to Key West. Every mile of the Key West Extension of the Florida East Coast Railway brought new surprises for the construction team. Although they were able to put the line in place for passenger service by 1912, it took four more years to complete the Extension and make Key West the southernmost rail-steamer connection in the U.S.
