The Company's Charter, issued by the latest Alabama General Assembly, authorizes the Company to build "a belt line railroad around the city of Mobile, connecting with all lines that enter the city, thence to deep water at Alabama Port on the western shore of Mobile bay, with branch to Portersville on the Mississippi Sound, a distance in all of 35 miles"; and to develop the Port area of the City. The project "will give to Mobile and the whole section of the country drained by the Alabama river system and Mississippi river system a deep water port unsurpassed in the whole world, and vastly superior to any port on the Gulf of Mexico." Costs, projections, expected traffic, Engineer's report, revenues and benefits to be derived are explored.
