Great Northern Rwy's Mansfield Branch Line (1909-1985) and the Waterville Railway Co. (1910-1974)

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.

April 1983 photo of Mansfield local approaching bridge #3 and the Palisades Rd. crossing.  Palisades is 3 miles ahead, and then after that its steep grades for these GP9's until Douglas.  One an ex-Great Northern GP9 and the other an ex-Northern Pacific.
