Promoter O. P. Huffman pushes a large scale railroad scheme that would connect Mt. Pleasant to Marshall via Hall, Hubbardston, Powani and Olivet, with multiple branches to Jackson, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and beyond.

Local supporters see potential regional benefits though some doubt utility for Jackson, while others note possible ties to Cincinnati Jackson Mackinaw traffic.
