Was the Pigeon River Railroad.

A typical schedule was for the trains to leave Sunburst at 7:15 am and arrive at West Canton at 8:30 am. On the return trip, the train left West Canto at 10:35 am and arrived back in Sunburst at 11:50 am. This line ran every day except on Sundays.

The rails were removed in 1933. Today, the town of Sunburst is under water due to the construction of the dam on Lake Logan.
