About the only thing Supplee had were grain facilities, a section house, bunk house and some out buildings. These were all removed in about the early 30's, except the grain facilities. Supplee never had a depot. The folowing photos show the train in Supplee on a winter afternoon making its return trip back to Wenatchee. Alan Loebsack photos.
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.
