OMETHING like twelve
millions of dollars and
several years work, to
say nothing of almost
insurmount able e n g i
neering difficulties, will
be required to complete the projected
extension of the Florida East Coast Uail
waj, but the result will, without ques
tion, be one of the most important
achievements in this the century of rail
way engineering wonders.
Simply the difficult problem is to con
struct and operate a railroad thirty feet
above and across open seas, in a section
where violent tropical storms prevail, the
largest of the unbroken stretches being
nearly two miles in length.
The extension from Homestead, the
present terminus, to Key West, is one
hundred and twenty-six miles. Sixty-
may go to and fro. There are three chan
nels requiring bridges.
There are four open seas, the longest,
between Long Key and Conch Key, will
require a viaduct ten thousand live hun
dred feet, or nearly two miles, in length.
The one crossing Knight's Key Channel
will be seven thousand three hundred
feet, and the one across Moser Key Chan
nel five hundred feet longer.
liahia Honda Key Channel, the shortest,
will probably be the most difficult to
cross. It is four thousand nine hundred
and fifty feet wide where the viaduct will
be constructed, but . the outlying reef is
broken by a wide, deep approach channel
from the ocean with water from eighteen
to twenty-eight feet deep.
The standard form of construction of
these four concrete arch viaducts is fifty
feet reinforced concrete arch spans and
ON COURT DAY.
Judge "Do you work by the day?"
Sambe "No, sah, I'ee ah night watchman."
five miles of this road bed will rest on
natural foundation, nearly six miles upon
concrete arch viaducts, the rest on an
embankment thrown up by dredges and
heavily ripraped. Two miles from Home
stead the road crosses the Big Prairie to
Jew Fish Creek, crossing this to Kev
, 0
Largo, where fifteen miles of track will
be laid. Between this and Key West,
about thirty keys are crossed, some not
more than a few hundred feet apart, while
between others there are open seas from
one to two miles wide where the road
will cross. Where the water in these
openings is shallow and protected by the
outlying reefs, embankments will be
thrown up and ripraped. These will
have twenty-five-foot openings, permit
ting the passage of small craft. Where
wider channels are crossed, draw bridges
will be constructed, that large vessels
piers, varying at places to sixty feet. In
order to prevent their swaying out of line
when the water is disturbed by heavy
storms, the piers will be anchored to the
bottom by piles driven into the rock and
carried up to within two feet of the spring
of the arches. Abutment piers will be
used at every fifth arch. The arches are
reinforced with circumferential square
corrugated bars, near the outside surface,
and with transverse bars tied together
witli half-inch round radial bars. Earth
filling will be put between the spandrel
walls, and the ballast on top of it above
the level of the concrete coping. This
brings the base of the rail thirty-one feet
above the mean water level.
Most of the work of constructing the
viaducts will be done by machinery, and
for the purpose the following equipment
has been provided : Eight barges, forty
