The Henry Flagler Overseas Railroad operated from 1912 to 1935 -- one of the great engineering challenges on the planet. Key West is at the western end of a long series of islands called the Florida Keys. Even to this day, building railroads on oceans is still very difficult, and that is why it wasn't rebuilt in this hurricane-prone region.
