The principal buildings of Onderdonk's Plant in Yale were the following: The locomotives purchased by Onderdonk and used on the railway between Port Moody and end of track beyond Kamloops were as follows:
The rolling stock and special cars used during construction built at Andrew Onderdonk's Yale Shops were as follows:
Mention is also made in The Island Sentinel of a caboose. The Onderdonk albums do not contain any photographs of a caboose, but a photograph of a caboose (without cupola) may be part of the consist of a construction train operating near Yale. Onderdonk built some passenger coaches, apart from his private car, and one of those may be seen in the consist of another train. Before the railway sections constructed by Onderdonk were transferred over to the CPR in 1886, Onderdonk operated trains for several months between Port Moody and Savona.
onstruction of a railway that involved more than 300 miles through mountainous terrain meant that the most practical way to supply the materials along the line was by rail. Just as Onderdonk had set up his own factory to manufacture the explosives he needed to blast away the granite of the Fraser's canyon for a right of way, he also set up a Machine works and a Car Shop to build all of the rolling stock he needed for construction. Only the locomotives were purchased in the United States and brought to British Columbia by boat, as well as about four flat cars.
