          You're interested in the Flagler Railroad. It was built by Henry Flagler between 1905-1912, connecting Miami to Key West. The railroad was a significant engineering feat, but was destroyed by a hurricane in 1935 and replaced by the Overseas Highway. Its legacy remains in the Florida Keys and is preserved at the Flagler Museum.
