The National Register of Historic Places lists the Yakima Valley Transportation Company (YVT) as the last intact early 20th century electric interurban railroad in America. From its beginning in 1907; the YVT was no quitter; surviving a takeover by the Union Pacific; large financial losses as the last trolley railroad in Washington state; attempts at dieselization; and a concerted effort to put the company in its grave. Thanks to the efforts of local preservationists; YVT trolleys are still in operation. The railroad and its infrastructure never changed. What is seen today is what was built 100 years ago�a living slice of history. Images of Rail: Yakima Valley Transportation Company is the most authoritative chronicle of the famous YVT yet compiled.
