Ocean route rail viaduct to Key West draws massive effort
Report describes construction of an oceangoing railroad viaduct from Miami to Key West. It details vast quantities of crushed rock and sand, piles driven into coral bed, cofferdams, dredges in mangrove swamps, a cement shell with earth fill, and a year of work by 3000 plus workers. The project aims to create a continuous rail link from New England to the southern coast, with sea lanes, dredging, and night shifts shaping the route.
