This view is again at SE Division St., but now the line
is in the first few months of its operation. Trains
heading in both directions are at the station. All stops on the route
along and near I-205 have a single, center platform.
The train to the right has a caution signal to proceed inbound toward City
Center. By two further stops it will have joined up with both the Blue
Line from Gresham and the Red Line from Portland's airport.
The extension out to Clackamas Town Center is about six
and one-half miles long after the Green Line heads off on its own. It contains eight stations. Most of the run
is parallel to Interstate 205, and grade crossings are limited to
one regular street and one access road to a park-and-ride lot.
It is a fast ride, but does not present the traveler with much in the way of scenic
excitement, except perhaps the small triumph of looking at clogged traffic on the freeway. |
