Can you advise me as to how I can access Carpenter's Maps?
I'd like to see what he shows for the Pocahontas Division. I am modeling it
in N-Scale. Maps are essential to get things right.
Thanks for any information you can provide me on "C's" Maps.

Thanks to Mr. Dunford for suggesting Carpenter's maps. It never occurred
to me that Carpenter might show as old as the Farmville & Powhatan.
Here (attached) are the three pages covering the Farmville & Powhatan &
Pacific Fast Line RR. Artwork is sized so that it will print nicely on an
8.5 x 11" sheet of paper.
Carpenter's stated intent is to map the nation's railroads as they existed
in 1946. But occasionally he throws in a juicy tidbit like the F&P
(abandoned 1918.) If railroad routes are of interest to you, Carpenter is
an excellent investment: Railroad Atlas of the United States in 1946,
vols. 1 - 4, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003. Volume 1
contains the Virginia maps.

There are still traces of the right-of-way at various sites in
Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Cumberland Counties between Bermuda Hundred and
Farmville. The brick piers supporting the trestle over the former ACL still
stand in Chester. Attached are maps for reference, and a photo of a
railroad spike found along the right-of-way east of Chester.

Can anyone confirm the year in which Position Light Automatic Block Signals
were installed on the Punkin' Vine? I think it was 1928. I have a piece of
original PL equipment that I want to letter with an identification, but want
to make sure before I uncork the paint. ..

Last night I did some digging on the USGS website and dug up several
USGS Topo maps from the 1890s all show the Farmville & Powhattan and
between the 5 maps you can follow the entire railroad. Due to the
extremely cumbersome method of having to select the maps for download,
then download the .zip file, and then unzip, etc. etc. I have managed to
find enough room on my webserver to place them. I'll leave them up about
a month before I'll pull them down.
