After after a few mergers and growth to over 250 miles of track, it fell victim to unpaid interest payments, the Panic of 1873, and a crash in the lumber market. It fell into receivership in 1879 abd remained so until reincorporated as the Flint & Marquette Railroad in 1880. This certificate is dated ten years later, and nine years before a consolidation that changed the name to The Pere Marquette Railway.
