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.

McCue
Interesting find on a drawing from McCue. If you look really close written faintly it says "Prop'd. bridge & Building Car. Constructed from sections of Mansfield Depot." Just the the right of this text are three structures with dimensions of 12' x 40' each. A.F.E. 63990-Mansfield Depot retired 1944; sold and removed 1961.
