PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
Three Tracks

This is another view of the three tracks through the Gateway/NE 99th Ave. Transit Center.  A train from the Airport is stopped on the middle track, pointed for this brief portion of its run more or less back toward its origin.  The two right-hand tracks handle westbound traffic, with Red to the left, Green at the most right, and Blue, either. 

There is a rather casual-looking pedestrian crossing allowing access to all three platforms, and to a number of bus lines which stop to the left of the light rail complex.  Slow speeds and passengers heeding the warning signs help maintain the system's good safety record.
