It was established to construct a 14.7-mile (23.7 km) railway line from a junction with the F&PM main line at Coleman, Michigan, to Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The line opened on December 15, 1879, as a 3 ft(914 mm) narrow gauge line. In mid-1884 the line was converted to 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge. On January 31, 1889 the company was formally merged into the F&PM along with the East Saginaw and St. Clair Railroad, the Saginaw and Clare County Railroad, and the Manistee Railroad.[1][2]

In 1979 the C&O abandoned the line.
