铁路通到西礁 (Key
West) 了
1912年1月22日
西元1912年时，西礁岛上有2万个居民。1912年1月22日，几乎每一个人都在屋子外头等着亨利．福雷格乐与火车的到来。
西元1935年，一场飓风摧毁了铁路。1938年，铁路被全世界最长的水上公路所替换，这条公路被称之为「海上高速公路」 (Oversea
Highway) 。如果你刚好要到佛罗里达，你可以开车经过这条海上高速公路到达西礁，不过搭乘火车会不会比较好玩呢？
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?
