The Virginia and Carolina Southern Railroad was chartered in 1903 in North Carolina; the company’s original route was from Lumberton, North Carolina (Robeson County) into Bladen County east of Lumberton. The company was controlled by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. In total it operated about 66 miles of track. Two sections of the line were from Hope Mills (Cumberland County) to Lumberton (Robeson County), 27 miles, and from St. Paul (Robeson County) to Elizabethtown (Bladen County), 27 miles. In 1922 the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad leased the Virginia & Carolina Southern Railroad, running from Fayetteville south to Lumberton, with a spur to Elizabethtown within North Carolina.
