Joe Spann uses a yardstick to point out an area on the steam engine locomotive Mosaic workers found buried in a cooling pond near Mulberry. Spann is the director of the Polk County Historical Library. With him is citrus grower Scott Young.
There is a good chance the nearly 140-year-old locomotive Mosaic employees found a few months ago buried in water will stay in Polk County.
That’s what the deputy state historic preservation officer for Review and Compliance said.
