The rail station was to be called “Burt” in honor of the Democratic nominee for governor. It was located on the east side of the tracks, just south of the Burt Opera House. The new track would cover a length of 59 miles, with 26 stops. Depots were built in Burt, Verne and Fosters. In 1900, a spur line was built at Verne Station to accommodate coal from the Verne Coal Mine in Albee Township. Burt was also a major investor in this spur line. As business waned, passenger service was ceased and the Burt Depot was abandoned and torn down in the 1950s.
