Apparently the express building was involved in a fire at one time:

Good Luck, Ed
Now that Ed has posted that picture, I guess the question becomes are we asking about that structure or what seems to be the current facility?
The photos Ed posted are of the old Jacksonville Union Terminal (built round 1900 and last used in the early 1970s; since renovated and converted into a convention center and tourist attraction). The Amtrak station is about 5 miles away and was designed in the mid 1970s using a taco stand as an inspiration.
Not entirely sure what the OP wants info on . . .

PS I was born in Jax, and I have actually travelled by train from that old terminal. Typical style and glamour of those grandiose vaulted civic buildings of yore.
Nor am I. If he’s after the Amtrak version here’s a few:

thnx for the foto’s Ed. This is what i’m looking for, interieur pictures for the waiting room. Can you show some pictures of the floor in the waiting room.
Hello
for my project i’m Looking for the mesurements of the stations platform
the height, the width, how long and also the canopy
thanks
Floor in the waiting room is either lozenge-shaped (diamond-shaped) tile with wide flush grouting, or some kind of hard-surface flooring made with that pattern. I doubt you’ll find anyone who has taken a shot ‘straight down’ to show proportions, or has measurements or manufacturer’s information on the flooring, but ‘stranger things have happened’.
I suspect the turquoise ‘metal roof’ valance on the station facade is an addition since the original Amshack was built. You might be able to refine the date by inspecting more photographs with good dates. The platform shelter structure would date from that time, I expect; the visible roofing detail would be that of modern ‘metal roof’ construction, and a little judicious calling around to contractors for that kind of work in the Jacksonville area might turn up firsthand information far beyond photograph analysis…
Pretty difficult to call around from Belgium.
Do you have the access to Google satelite view in Belgium? You can use the measuring tools to determine just about any feature.
30.36467986713975, -81.72331054440197
It looks to me like the main platform canopy is 1000 feet long.

In Google Maps, right click the image to bring up a menu that includes a measuring utility.
Good Luck, Ed
