Professor Lowe's great dream was doomed to a short life. From its opening in 1893 to its final days in 1936, financial difficulties, natural disasters and the country's economic problems brought an end to this unique railway and resort. Today, only a few remains are left for hikers, railroad buffs and history lovers to see.
