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.

The Withrow Banner: Jan. 14, 1916
I guess no one knew how "Touhey" was supposed to be spelled back then. I wonder what work was being done out there?

I've got a book on Douglas County postal history and is says it was supposed to be Tonkey.
I've read that too.
