==Transportation== * [[Florida State Road 37|State Road 37]], which leads north toward [[Lakeland, Florida|Lakeland]] and south toward [[Bradley Junction, Florida|Bradley Junction]] Two rail lines intersect in the middle of the highway about a half mile south of the intersection of SR 37 and SR 60 * [[Florida State Road 60|State Road 60]], leading west toward [[Brandon, Florida|Brandon]] and east toward [[Bartow, Florida|Bartow]] and [[Lake Wales, Florida|Lake Wales]]. * Mulberry was served by two railroads. The line running east and west belonged to the Seaboard Airline Railroad while the north-south railroad belonged to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. There is a combined yard that belonged to both railroads to the west and north of Mulberry proper and this is where the railroad interchanged traffic rather than at interchanges at the crossing of the two lines south of the downtown area.<ref>SPV's Comprehensive Railroad Atlas of North America, 1999 p 17, Map FL-12</ref> The crossing of the two railroads is very unusual as it takes place in the middle of a 4-lane divided highway crossing of traffic on State Road 37 at SW 2nd Street. Both of these railroad lines merged into the Seaboard Coastline in 1967 and in turn were folded into the CSX Railroad in 1986. Considerable traffic was and still is generated by the [[Bone Valley]] phosphate industry
