Description
"Old Flagler Overseas Railroad" by Catherine Sherman.
Travelers on the Overseas Highway can see remnants of The Overseas Railroad (also known as Florida Overseas Railroad, the Overseas Extension, and Flagler's Folly).
The Overseas Railroad was an extension of the Florida East Coast Railway to Key West, a city located 128 miles (204.8 km) beyond the end of the Florida peninsula. Work on the line started in 1905 and it operated from 1912 to 1935, when it was partially destroyed by the Labor Day Hurricane.
The Overseas Railroad was built by Henry Flagler, who was a major builder and developer of resort hotels and railroads along the east coast of Florida. Flagler (1830–1913) was a principal in Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler and later a founder of Standard Oil during the Gilded Age in the United States.
