PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
Bridge Approach

This scene is from along NE Holladay St. in the Rose Quarter, beyond the last inbound stop on this side of the river for the Blue, Red and Green Lines.  A train from the Airport has just crossed N Interstate Ave., and is beginning its ascent onto Steel Bridge.

The hulking presence of that Willamette River crossing is visible from many angles east of the river.  There is perhaps no other span used by light rail in the country that is as distinctive as is this old structure in Portland.
