The interurban served two terminals at Everett and Snohomish and six intermediate stops in various towns and neighborhoods. Each stop had an estimated population of about 200 people.Electrification
The overhead trolley system consisted of No. 0000 Fig. 8 trolley wire supported every by flexible brackets on side pole construction. The Ohio Brass Co's. material was used exclusively for trolley construction. The long poles were of cedar, at the top, and were set in the ground and placed from the rail. The trolley wire was from the top of the rail, on account of danger to brakemen on steam freight trains if lower construction was used. On account of the distance of the poles from the track, a bracket was used. A 350,000 c.m. (177 mm²) feeder cable was used to within a mile (1.6 km) of the end of the line, taps being made every , while another 350,000 c.m. (177 mm²) cable was used to a point from the power house, at the point of heaviest grade. Two draw bridges were crossed by this railroad, necessitating a pivot pole in the center of the draw span carrying the trolley, feeder, and return current cables up over this pole high enough to allow the passage of vessels up the river. Taps are made off of these cables at the pivot pole to the trolley and track on the bridge. The entire construction of this railroad had to be done, while the Northern Pacific was operating an average of ten steam trains a day over it, making the work extremely difficult and hazardous. On account of the danger involved and the novel construction, the work was done under the personal supervision of the company's general superintendent, Mr. R. P. Stevens. The track was bonded with Ohio Brass Co's. flexible No. 0000 bonds, with compressed terminals, which were expanded into holes in the rails. This bond was long and placed under the angle bars. No. 0000 cross bonds of the same type were used every . Power for the operation of this railroad was furnished from the Everett power house of the Everett Railway & Electric Co., about from the further end of the line, and 1 mile (1.6 km) from the Everett terminal.Rolling stock
The rolling stock used on this line consisted of two passenger cars and one combination passenger and baggage car. The passenger cars were long and wide. They provided seats for 48 people. The slightly longer combination cars were overall long and wide. It seated 40 people and had a long baggage compartment. The cars had cross seats, and windows with double sash, the upper sash being stationary and the lower sash dropping down. They were heated with the Consolidated Car Heater Co's eight-heater equipments and were mounted onOperation
