jorge_fernandez3 1 Posted June 23, 2010 The Men and the Dream In 1912, a proud Henry Flagler rode the first train into Key West, marking the completion of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway's overseas railroad connection to Key West and the linkage by railway of the entire east coast of Florida. The FEC was the product of Flagler's resources and imagination. Flagler's construction of hotels at points along the railroad and his development of the agricultural industry through the Model Land Company established tourism and agriculture as Florida's major industries. Amazingly, Flagler accomplished these feats after retiring from his first career. Flagler had already founded the vast empire of Standard Oil with partners John D. Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews, before becoming interested in Florida. Flagler Street divides the City North and South making it essection to learn its location as soon as you start learning Miami gorgeous Cityscape! Automobiles has taking over Trains! Thank you for looking. Comments/Rates appreciated. Link to comment

jorge_fernandez3 1 Posted June 23, 2010 I follow this truck for a few miles taking images acording to the sun rays, who was playing a trick on me, coming in and out from behing the clouds. The strech of the Palmeto were I encounter this monster, has 8 lanes and we were moving about 70 miles per hour! Cars were getting in my way, I was taking the images throw the windshild and my rosary was getting on the way! Link to comment
