PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
Newly Extended to Hillsboro

It was a chilly early spring day at the time of this photo.  A train was running through downtown before heading off onto what was then the newly opened right of way west to Hillsboro. 

Car 117 has a generous expanse of front window.  This first order of MAX vehicles had high-level floors, requiring special procedures for the handling of mobility-impaired passengers.  All the later models allow low-floor access into the center portion of each car, and the lifts are no longer utilized.
