The rail yard in Dunnellon in 1906 was a hopping place as phosphate was a booming business at the time. Phosphate and rock was moved out of the bustling industrial community to nearby Rockwell and Inglis to prepare for use by industry elsewhere.

This photo is from ‘Dunnellon-Boomtown of the 1890s’ by Lester Dinkins.
