WEIRTON, W.Va. – The Wellsburg Historical Railroad Society is sponsoring its last bus trip of the season this time to ride the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad just south of Cleveland.
Participants will ride the train back in time to witness the Union and Confederate troops transform the grounds of Hale Farm and Village into a re-enactment battle.

The price includes the bus ride, the train ride, a box lunch at Hale, and the re-enactment. A stop not covered by the trip cost will be made near New Philadelphia, Ohio, for dinner on the way home.
