The Yeoman Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in Florida. It runs along CSX’s S Line from Zephyrhills south to just east of Tampa via Plant City for a total of 31.2 miles.
The north end of the line connects to the Wildwood Subdivision and the south end connects to the Tampa Terminal Subdivision. It also connects with the Plant City Subdivision and Lakeland Subdivision (the A Line) in Plant City, and with the Valrico Subdivision (which carries Bone Valley traffic) in Valrico.[1][2]
The Yeoman Subdivision and the Wildwood Subdivision (which both run along CSX’s S Line) together are CSX’s main freight route through Peninsular Florida. Passenger service was discontinued completely in 2004 when Amtrak truncated the Palmetto to Savannah, Georgia.[3]
The Yeoman Subdivision runs through the middle of Plant City, where it crosses CSX's other main line, the A Line (Lakeland Subdivision). This junction, known as Plant City Interlocking, is a particularly busy junction since all trains to and from Tampa must pass through this point. A train viewing platform is located at the junction for rail enthusiasts to observe passing trains. The platform is part of the Robert W. Willaford Railroad Museum which operates in the Plant City Union Depot.[4]
