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.

New John Deere 35 pull type combines sit atop flat cars on the Mansfield Branch during the 1940's. From the looks of the terrain, it looks as if the picture was taken south of Douglas.
