The Jacksonville Terminal Company was chartered in 1894 to build Jacksonville Union Terminal in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as to manage the yards and coordinate train movements. By 1902, the company was owned by five railroads: Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line and Florida East Coast, each with 25 percent ownership, and the Southern and Georgia Southern & Florida, which evenly split the remaining 25 percent. The Union Terminal opened in 1919. The company ceased operations in 1976 when the terminal closed, and Amtrak opened another station on the north of Jacksonville.
