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.

The Wenatchee Daily World: March 4, 1909
Where McCue Siding got its name? William McCue was born in Minnesota in 1865 and was never married according to the 1920 census. At that time, his home was in Ephrata, WA. We was never married and had no children.
