Great Northern Railway Culvert Marker No. 68. Every culvert was marked with a steel marker sign to identify every crossing. This marker was located somewhere between Douglas and Supplee according to GNRy Track Plans. There were approximately 105 culverts that crossed under the tracks on the Mansfield Branch.
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.
