Florida phosphate mining trains | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

It seems that I remember reading an article in one of the trains magazines about the mining operations east of Tampa along with a map of the tracks. Does anyone remember that article or what magazine it was in. I'm going to be in Florida in February and would like to explore the area.

Isn't the mining operation located in Bone Valley or something like that?
