Collage of newspaper headlines about the Mansfield Branch Line ranging in dates from 1907 to 1994. All of these headlines are from The Wenatchee Daily World, The Wenatchee World, The Waterville Empire Press, The Withrow Banner, The Republic and the Quad-city Herald.
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.
