The Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad Company operated an electric streetcar system in Spokane, Washington and an electrified interurban railway extending beyond Spokane into the Palouse region and northern Idaho, and also constructed and operated a central terminal building and the Nine Mile Dam. The system originated from several predecessor roads beginning in 1888, was incorporated in 1906, and ran under its own name until 1929, when it merged into the Great Northern Railway and later the Burlington Northern Railroad.
