And since it's depot friday, I found this partial shot on the end of the negative.  Front of the former Seaboard Coast Line depot.  I believe Amtrak no longer stops here?

I think that depot is gone and the only Amtrak activity is at the Auto-train facility.

That is the tallest baggage cart I've ever seen.

I have to agree on both counts. But I'm wondering if this cart was built this 'tall' in order to match the floor level of a standard baggage car...

Cart looks like one of those to match the level of a baggage car floor so as to be able to slide heavy loads on and off. Like caskets.

Right, Florida and caskets make sense. But then you have to lift it on or off the cart!

and the building is leveled.

B is also for Baby Boat, i.e. U18B which this one is. 

Nice shot!

The 4-wheeled "wagon" is for human remains. The ones I am familar with, the bed cranked up and down.
This one looks a little harder to use.
