  • Railroad Diamond in middle of 4 lane highway! Weird & Unusual Train Stuff! 2 CSX mainlines cross at grade at an unusual level railroad crossing in the Florida Bone Valley. A huge phosphate freight train and a stinky molten sulpher train are seen crossing the diamond and busy roadway in Mulberry, Florida on February 1, 2020. We flew to Tampa just to film this unusual crossing and to film the FEC Railroad and trains around the Tampa and Plant City areas. We stayed at the Best Western motel on Highway 60 in Mulberry to view the phosphate trains. Only a few trains a day go on the east and west route across Florida here but there are a bunch of them on the north south line. We filmed trains including Amtrak at 3 different railroad diamonds in central Florida so make sure you don't miss my other videos. My previous video shows Amtrak and the Teco Trolley approaching a diamond at the same time. Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and SUBSCRIBE TO JAWTOOTH!!

      He's not allowed to stop blowing the horn until the head locomotive is clear of the last grade crossing. You can see there's one more street to cross right as he finishes up.

    Any railfan drivers at the crossing were probably delighted to see and hear the long train crossing the diamond. That is a rare diamond location. There used to be a middle-of-the-street diamond in the Westport section of Baltimore many years ago. The double tracked mainline of the Western Maryland Railway coming out of Port Covington crossed a B&O industrial track in the middle of Kloman St. Movements on the B&O Kloman St. spur were controlled by WM-style block signals mounted on the street edge each side of the WM tracks. I rode WM excursion trains across the diamond but never caught any switching activities on the B&O spur. That whole area changed when the WM yard was torn up after being absorbed into CSX, the old B&O industrial track was removed, and the Baltimore Light Rail line running to Glen Burnie was built where Kloman St. used to be.

    That's very interesting. I never realized until I saw this video that there was such a big phosphate industry in Florida. When I was a big, burly truck driver (well, not so burly!) I used to go to a Cargil Plant in Tampa (according to what I can find, it's now The Mosaic Company) and pick up loads of fertalizer-type bags and take it to Laredo, TX. It was a good, easy, long run (nice when you get paid by the mile). So I learned something today. I thought FL was just a sand bar until today. :)
