鐵路通到西礁 (Key
West) 了
1912年1月22日
西元1912年時，西礁島上有2萬個居民。1912年1月22日，幾乎每一個人都在屋子外頭等著亨利‧福雷格樂與火車的到來。
西元1935年，一場颶風摧毀了鐵路。1938年，鐵路被全世界最長的水上公路所取代，這條公路被稱之為「海上高速公路」 (Oversea
Highway) 。如果你剛好要到佛羅里達，你可以開車經過這條海上高速公路到達西礁，不過搭乘火車會不會比較好玩呢？
Twenty thousand people lived on the small island of Key West in 1912. On January 22, 1912, almost every one of them showed up to watch Henry Flagler and the train arrive in their city.
In 1935, a hurricane destroyed the railway. By 1938, it was replaced by the world's longest over-water road, called the Overseas Highway. If you happen to find yourself in Florida, driving across today's ocean highway to Key West, wouldn't it be fun to think of getting there by train?
