Nash two-ton truck with 4-wheel "pony truck". Modified to haul 17 passengers, mail and express. Purchased by the Waterville Railway Co. in May of 1920, retired in October of 1936, and scrapped in 1939. Info from the Great Northern Railway Historical Society (Reference Sheet No. 108)
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.
