This little interurban system in eastern Washington began operating in approximately 1907. It built a line west to Henrybro which was reached in 1910. Another line north to Speyers was completed in 1913. From the earliest years, it was a Union Pacific subsidiary as a means to compete with the Northern Pacific in the area. Local service was operated until 1946. A local group began streetcar service again in 1976 as a heritage tourist line. Freight continued to operate with electric power until approximately 1990 when a trackmobile was acquired.

The older city cars were typical of cars built around 1910.

20 thru 22 were Brill Master Units built by American Car Co, a Brill subsidiary, in 1930. After local service was abandoned, they were sold to the Portland Traction and renumbered 4008 thru 4010. PT 4009 was saved in 1960 after the Portland lines quit, and it is now back to its original number and paint scheme.

100 and 200 were wood interurban cars retired in the mid 1930s.

297 was built by Baldwin-Westinghouse in August 1923, #56937, as Glendale & Montrose RR 22. This was another UP subsidiary, and in May 1931, the locomotive became Union Pacific E-100. It was sent to the YVT as 297 in September 1942. It is now preserved at the museum at Perris, CA.

298 was built by General Electric in October, 1922, #8788. It is still in Yakima and is used occasionally.

299 was built by Baldwin-Westinghouse in October 1907, #32061. It was formerly Unted Rys 1.

In addition to the locomotives, YVT had a couple of freight motors.

Every interurban needs a line car and here is the A.
