鐵路通到西礁 (Key
West) 了
1912年1月22日
你要怎麼到達128英里以外的島嶼呢？坐船？搭飛機？嗯，在1900年代初期，一個佛羅里達的地產開發者亨利‧佛雷格樂 (Henry
M. Flagler) ，認為火車應該是人們前往佛羅里達西礁島最實際的方法。
為了完成這段鐵路，必須要建造42座橋樑。鐵軌的長度必須要連接佛羅里達本土，美國最南端的西礁島，及其間的島嶼。在1912年1月22日，佛雷格樂搭上佛羅里達西岸鐵道公司 (Florida
East Coast Railway) 的第一班火車，前往西礁。
How would you get to an island 128 miles away? By boat? By plane? Well, in the early 1900s Henry M. Flagler, a Florida developer, decided a train would be a practical way for people to get to the island of Key West, Florida.
To complete the railway, 42 bridges had to be constructed. The length of track connected mainland Florida to the southernmost settlement in the United States and the keys (islands) in between. On January 22, 1912, Flagler boarded the first train of the Florida East Coast Railway bound for Key West.
