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.

Local boys pose for one last photo before heading off to fight in WWI. Photo taken at the Waterville Depot on Rainier St. in 1917.
Wondering if someone in this group would be interested in making a presentation to a local 4X4 Overlanding Club. If "yes" please contact me at: trailseekers4X4@gmail.com Jack Anderson, Orondo, WA
