Here are the ones in Huntsville, both of which are museums:

This is the best view of this one on Google Street View. It was also the smallest union station when it was in operation, with trains from the Memphis & Charleston Railroad (later Southern) and NC&StL (later L&N):

It appears to now be a Church

Not much, but still a station nonetheless

The Plant City Welcome Center is an old train depot.. not sure when it was built though.

Tracks are long gone, but Union Station in downtown Springfield now serves as the visitor's center for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum which is a block further down.
The station's bell tower was completely rebuilt... and inside it was completely remolded with original-type fixtures, etc. Quite an impressive building...
I'm traveling currently and only have my iPad... my apologies if the above link does not go straight to Street View. I will edit it next week when I am back home.

Unfortunately appears to have fallen into disrepair over the years.
