BONE VALLEY

BONE VALLEY IS LOCATED ALONG HIGHWAY 60 EAST OF TAMPA, A PHOSPHATE MINING AREA PROVIDING MUCH OF THE WORLD'S SUPPLY OF PHOSPHATE.

Three-Mile Post Yard is located off RT 640 just east of SR 37 a mile or two south of Mulberry. Lots of train action can be seen from the RT 640 bridge. Here, we see two SD40-2's building up a train.

Another view to the south from the highway bridge shows two trains, a southbound of empties and an northbound making up another consist of phosphate.

This view from the north end of the bridge at Three-Mile Post Yard reveals three trains. The caboose is on a southbound of empties. The previously seen northbound continues to make up its train while a loaded train heads north towards Mulberry.

Mulberry's Phosphate museum is open Thursday thru Sunday, check it out! While I checked it out this local freight passed just a few feet behind the museum.
