Built by the Great Northern Railway in 1909, the 61 mile line branched off the mainline at the Columbia River and snaked its way up across Douglas County, WA to its terminus in Mansfield. In 1985 it was abandoned, thus closing the book on railroading on the Waterville Plateau. This blog is dedicated to preserving the history of the Mansfield Branch Line and Waterville Railway Co., as well as showcasing my scratch built HO scale models.

Douglas WA Depot in 1983
Douglas Depot picture taken in 1983 by the late John P. Henderson. After the abandonment of this line, Burlington Northern deeded the structure over to Central Washington Grain Growers. They set it ablaze on Sunday, December 5, 1993.
