1985 photo showing Bridge #25 on the Mansfield Branch. This was taken the same day as this photo on our family snowmobile ride along the line. Photo was taken on the west side of the creek looking on the down grade.
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.
