PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
Freeway Above

Interstate 5, which carries a huge amount of highway traffic, passes over Eastside MAX in this view.  By common description, the territory east of the freeway in this area is called the Lloyd District, and west, Rose Quarter.  The train approaching the camera is stopped at the Convention Center station, second of the four eastbound stations in the Free Rail Zone after the river crossing. 

The picturesque West Hills are fairly far away, past downtown and neighborhoods beyond it.
