A history of railroading in the Hocking Valley notes the 1851 fever and the 1852 Logan meeting that launched the Scioto and Hocking Valley Railroad, with five thousand present at the organization and funds raised by Perry, Hocking, and Vinton counties. The line reached Jackson by 1853, but the venture collapsed, later revived as the Hocking Valley Mineral Railroad, and eventually the Ohio and West Virginia Railroad—now the River Division of the CH&T.
