This page will outline sources used or consulted during the design and construction of the layout.

Bernard Kempinski, Mid-Size Track Plans for Realistic Layouts 
This is a great source of material on the City Point line.  One of the layout articles in the book contains maps of the original City Point line, 2 HO Scale layouts and an O Scale layout.  There are reproductions of photos from the period and background material on the line.

Bernard Kempinski, Model Railroad Planning1996
Bernie wrote an article in Model Railroad Planning 1996 with a sidebar on deciding which railroad to model using a decision matrix.  The same idea was repeated later in a segment of Show 54 of the Model Rail Podcast.

Robert O. Zinnen, Jr. "City Point: The Tool That Gave General Grant Victory" Quartermaster Professional Bulletin - Spring 1991

This is an interesting article about the whole operation of military supply at City Point.
