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.

Waterville Railway Company: Resolution of the Board of Tustees 1974
We found these papers while going through my gramma's files last weekend. The stock was purchased by her mom back in the day and then they went to her. They almost got thrown away. I accidently put them in the garbage pile.
Holy moly! I've been looking for evidence like this. Great find! I knew CWGG had gotten the Waterville, but I did not know for sure when.
