		To further convince Flagler to continue the railroad to Miami, he was offered land from private landowners, the Florida East Coast Canal and Transportation Company, and the Boston and Florida Atlantic Coast Land Company in exchange for laying rail tracks.

	Absolute immunity of the Corp of Engineers for flood damage - Florida East Coast Railway Co. v. United States, 519 F.2d ...
		Florida East Coast on its cross-appeal insists that the United States is not immune, under 33 U.S.C. § 702c, from liability for its negligence in the construction of this project.
		Florida East Coast submits that the district court erred in several respects in determining that the United States is statutorily immune from liability for damages resulting from the government's negligence in the planning or installation of a flood control project.
		Thus Florida East Coast is unlike the majority of plaintiffs who seek to append state claims to federal questions in that it does not have the option of going to state court if it wishes to have all its claims resolved at once.

		It was perhaps the railway with the highest proportion of bridges and viaducts per km ever built, and owed its existence entirely to the determination of the wealthy oil and railway pioneer Henry Flagler.
