I 1869 kom jernbanen til Aalborg,
dette fik kammerherren på Birkelse Hovedgaard til arbejde for en
jernbane til Fjerritslev. I 1874 lykkedes det kammerherren at samle
så megen støtte til, at bygge en jernbane nord for fjorden. Så man
afholdte et orienterende møde på Hotel Phønix i Aalborg, her
nedsatte man en komite der skulle arbejde videre med planerne. I
1897 indviede man den vestlige del af jernbanen mellem Fjerritslev
og Frederikshavn via Nørresundby.
Birkelse Station var tegnet af P.
Poulsen i 1896 den kostede 10.700 kroner at bygge, foruden
perronsporet var der et krydsningsspor med tilhørende jordperron,
desuden et ladespor, der førte over i et stikspor, som igen var
forsynet med enderampe. Ved hovedsporet lå der også et
pakhus.
Stationsbgygningen er i dag
elforretning, men man kan stadig fornemme stationen, som ligger på
disse koordinater: N57 08.919, E009 40.816.
Birkelse by hed oprindelig Vedsted,
men stationen blev opkaldt efter Birkelse Hovedgaard, som en ”tak”
til kammerherren for sin indsats for jernbanens tilblivelse.
Landsbyen ændrede langsomt navn, men kirken hedder stadig Vedsted
Kirke og man kan endnu høre lokale kalde byen for
Vedsted.
