As Terry pointed out there have been many Eighth Wonders of the World.
This one was man made and lasted 23 years before Mother Nature in her wrath damaged it in The Storm of The Century.
Thanks,
Jerry

David according to my research Henry Flagler purchased the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax Railroad, the origin of the Florida East Coast Railway. Flagler then purchased the St. John's Railway, the St. Augustine and Palatka Railway, and the St. Johns and Halifax River Railway to expand his railroad, the three Saints I was looking for. The Overseas Railway took seven years to construct and cost $20-40 million, survived 5 hurricanes during construction and cost many lives.
Nice work David, your turn.
Thanks,
Jerry

The day before Independence Day in 1869 marked the inauguration of a railroad that still provides regular steam-powered service today.

Nice work.
