Financial ill fortune has marked tho road, almost since Its Inception In 190R. Actual construction was start od In that year at both termini, and contracts wore let for electric con struction and equipment aggregating $700,000. Then came the groat earthquake of 1908. It almost de stroyed In minutes miles of graded roadbed that had taken nearly a yoar's time and thousands or dollars to build. Cloao upon the dlsastor came hard tlmos, foreshadowing oven then, the ond or tho dream or the Oconn Shore. Thoro had .been nuthoriiod $5,000. 000 bonds at $1000 par.

Yet barely enough money was ob tained to push forward construction Original plans were mutilated: con tracts abrogated; thr dream or a fast do ii bin tracked modern electric line melted. A single track, ttnbalasted. was spiked along shelves cut from tho steep slopes and spanned deep ravines on wood trestles. Millions or cubic yards or earth were scraped away to build these shelves, at some points 250 feet above the sen. The ocean gnawed at the bottom or the bluff; their crests, rain softened, slipped down, often obliterating the rail hod.
