COVER PHOTO: A 1932 excursion on the Potts Mountain incline marked the last time a train ran on the railroad to the once bustling lumber town of Waiteville, Monroe County, WV. Industrial development and subsequent decline played a major role in the sweeping changes that came to West Virginia in the twentieth century.
