    The sulphur springs depot used to be located on the side of what’s now called the CSX Clearwater subdivision. This was just south of Busch Blvd where the Clearwater and Brooksville subdivision split. The Clearwater subdivision turns west and runs along the south side of Busch Blvd towards Pinellas County. The brooksville subdivision crosses Busch Blvd and runs north to Brooksville staying pretty close to US 41. Up until 30 to 35 years ago give or take CSX stationed a rail crew there with a locomotive and caboose. Rail cars destined for industry in the area were brought up from yeoman and put on a side track until the crew could work them. This side track still exists between an area just south of east Waters ave to an area just south of Busch Blvd where the Depot had been located in Tampa.

      Thank you for sharing the fascinating history of Tampa's railways. We look forward to going back and following the track in both directions, where it still exists today. It has been hard to catch a train in that area!
      But again we are glad you were able to enlighten us on this subject. We appreciate you watching and helping us keep the story of our railways alive.
