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 Yakima Valley Transportation Company built its line between 1907 and 1913, and passenger service ended in 1947. The two streetcars were assembled in 1928–1929 in Porto by the Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos do Porto from parts made by the J.G. Brill Company of Philadelphia. The city of Yakima bought them in 1974 for the 1976 United States bicentennial, and they were renumbered 1776 and 1976.
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.
The museum sits at the corner of South Third Avenue and Pine Street, and exhibits are free while trolley rides carry a fare. The line north to Selah closed in 2023 after structural problems were found on the bridge over the Naches River. Service was suspended when the operating agreement expired on December 31, 2025, then resumed in January 2026 under an agreement running to 2030.
The two trolleys were built in Porto in 1928–1929 from parts made by Philadelphia's J.G. Brill Company, and the city bought them in 1974 for the 1976 U.S. bicentennial, renumbering them №1776 and №1976. The numbers are a pun on the anniversary year.
