This site features daily historical railroad posts from the Big Bend/Columbia Plateau region of Washington state. As a personal site, this is my online filing cabinet of interesting things I've come across about railroading in the area. Thanks for stopping by! --Dan Bolyard

Also note the start of the Mansfield Branch, along what had been part of the original mainline from 1892 until the line change in 1909. New construction for the branch started where the right of way started to curve to the right up along Douglas Creek.
