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.

1917 panorama of Great Northern operations in Mansfield, WA
This is a picture that I scanned in and stitched together using a free online program called Auto Stitch. I touched up the photo by using Photoshop. This picture was provided to me by Darold Wax of Wenatchee.
Outstanding shot. The cleaned up version is great!
