This is one of two dynamite shacks I have located on the MB Line. These little structures measure about 5' wide x 7' long x 5' high. This one is located between bridge #26 and #27 up above the rail bed about 200' on the steep slope. The other is located about a mile south of Douglas, WA up in a basalt rock depression. Each has a little door on them as seen in this picture.
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.
