Supplee. August 1, 1983. The train is on it's way to Withrow, but before it can do that the crew must clean up the station by picking up empty box cars that have run out on the main track. These cars will be pushed on ahead to Withrow to be filled there. Blair Kooistra photo.
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.
