The company was also allowed to add branches to Nashville and to the Kentucky state line. The Mississippi Central Railroad and the Mississippi Central & Tennessee Railroad were consolidated in 1854, although the Mississippi Central & Tennessee continued to operate under its former name for some time thereafter.
