Great Sea-Going Railroad One Of Engineering Feats of the Age
New York reports the Florida East Coast Canal Railway extends south to Knight's Key with 2,000 workers and a 164 mile line. Vice-President Parrot predicts full operation within a year as it jumps thirty miles of open ocean and thirty more miles of submerged keys to connect Key West with Miami. The project, funded by Henry M. Flagler, aims to haul traffic to Havana via Key West car floats, promising faster, safer transit and strategic links to Cuba, Panama, and South America. Indictments against labor agents were dismissed after three years of prep.
