In the early 20th century Marathon was the center of shipping operations in the region. Ships from Havana and other Caribbean locations would dock near the railway to offload their goods to trains heading north. However, this would all come to end in 1935 when a large storm damaged the rail lines and the highway soon replaced the railroad.

Occasionally on the way to Key West next to the bridges, which are now cycle paths, you will find legacies of the former railway line.
