Great Northern Rwy's Mansfield Branch Line (1909-1985) and the Waterville Railway Co. (1910-1974)

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.

GNRy Culvert Crossing Marker Sign

Great Northern Railway Culvert Marker No. 67. This marker was located between Douglas and Supplee according to GNRy Track Plans, and these were used to identify each crossing by number. There were approximately 105 culverts that crossed under the tracks on the Mansfield Branch. Several years ago I acquired sign No. 68.
