After World War II, Weston, WV became the endpoint of a truncated B&O branch extending from Clarksburg. But during the early 20th century, it was considerably more. Originally, the West Virginia and Pittsburg(h) Railway constructed the railroad to Weston where a junction was located. One branch diverged and ran generally east through Buckhannon and to Pickens in Randolph County. The other ran basically south to Burnsville with the line eventually reaching Richwood. A short branch also extended from this line to serve Sutton. All of this was absorbed into the B&O in 1912 and by later additions..
This photo freezes Weston during its railroad prime of the early B&O years. The engine house, shops, and yard emphasize its importance on the line extending into central West Virginia. Weston was also the southern end of the Monongahela Electric Railway interurban system that served Clarksburg and Fairmont. Image WV and Regional History

APPALACHIA and the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS are not the same and I forget that some times. The mountains stretch all the way into Maine but I guess when you get north of central NY ain’t nobody wanna be called an Appalachian ? I’m PROUD to be an Appalachian. Not by birth - by choice ! (Although I am a Wayne County Adkins descendant… like a LOT of you ! 😆) I’ve seen the northern most peak in Maine but even then it didn’t hit me that the REGION name is different. I like Appalachia. And you know someone isn’t from here when they say “Apple-ay-chee-ah.” It’s Imma throw an “Apple-atcha” if you say it wrong ! 🍎💨🤣

I have a wonderful one year old male dog that needs a good home. He would be a great outside dog for a rural family. He is extremely friendly and good with kids. His one short coming is he hates chickens and I have free range chickens. Text me or face me if you have a place for him.
