A wedge snow plow doing work along the MB Line. My guess is that this photo was taken somewhere near Supplee by the position of the Cascade Mountains in the background. It also appears that the main line has been cleared of snow and the plow is on the siding. Gus Christ photo taken during the 1950's. Collection of the Wilson Creek Museum.
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.
