Yakima Electric Railway Museum, Transportation museum in Yakima, United States.
The Yakima Electric Railway Museum displays vintage streetcars and railway equipment at the corner of South Third Avenue and Pine Street. The site features original tracks where some of these historic vehicles can still operate today.
The museum preserves two Portuguese-built streetcars from 1928-1929 that were originally designed for the Yakima Valley Transportation Company network. These vehicles were manufactured in Portugal and later transported to Yakima to serve the regional transit system.
The museum preserves memories of how this valley once moved people and goods by electric rail. Visitors can see the tracks and cars that shaped daily life for generations.
Entry to the museum exhibits is free, but rides on the working trolleys cost extra and run on a seasonal schedule. It is wise to check ahead when rides are available, as they vary depending on the season and weather.
The museum operates one of the last working trolley systems in the United States and allows visitors to actually ride in vehicles from the early 1900s. This chance to experience the historic journey firsthand is rare in modern America.
