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.

Between Douglas and Alstown

Photos showing train on a curve between Douglas and Alstown. The late John P. Henderson took these pictures on the afternoon of October 28, 1983 while the train was making its return trip back to Wenatchee. Next and last stop will be Alstown to pick up a few box cars filled with wheat. Daling Farms is just across the creek from this train.
