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.

Supplee in the 1950's
Railroad workers idle the wedge plow to manually clear snow away from the switch stand at Supplee, Washington. The top of Badger Mountain can be seen in the far distance. Gus Christ photo. Collection of the Wilson Creek Museum.
