Isn't that some story?  I read about it in Wilson Jones and referenced it a 
week or two ago in the railraod rumors thread.  I wonder if there are any 
remains.  Physically it is possible, but I wonder if they can be located.  
Anyone know anybody who has gone diving in that area?  Obviously it's not as 
much fun as a reef in the Caribbean, but just wondering.
