PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
Skidmore Fountain, Inbound |
|
|
The train in the distance has just descended from Steel Bridge
-- a mammoth structure which is featured in the next Free Rail Zone
segment. From that bridge, the Red and Blue Lines turn sharply south
to run along NW and SW 1st Ave. There are three stations along this
stretch, Old Town/Chinatown, Skidmore Fountain, and SW Oak St. Then
the
line switches to its generally east-west alignment through the heart of
downtown.
People are waiting at the middle stop in this view. The overpass carries
Burnside Bridge traffic. The Willamette River
is off to the right, one block plus the width of a narrow city park away. |
