Rolling Stock
The passenger equipment of the Y&OR was unusually homogenous, with all eight cars having been built by the nearby Niles company in 1907. Cars 1-9 (odd numbers only) were 49' coaches with seating for 50, while cars 11, 13 and 15 were passenger-baggage combines of the same general design. Some former New York City elevated trailers were also owned for a time. All passenger rolling stock was scrapped following abandonment of the railroad.
Freight power consisted of three "steeplecab" electric locomotives built by Baldwin-Westinghouse, two dating to 1917 and the third to 1922. The three locomotives were sold, two to the Union Electric Railway of Kansas and one to the Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice Railway. One locomotive is now preserved at the Ohio Railway Museum while another is still in use on the Iowa Traction Railroad.
