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.

Last Train at Douglas
People gather for "Last Train" Ceremonies at Douglas on March 2, 1985. Media was present their that day too; KCWT Channel 27. They were a religious television station base out of Wenatchee. It signed on the air in 1984, and went defunct in 1993.
