PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
SW 6th & Pine |
|
|
|
SW 6th Ave. and SW Pine St. is the fourth station northbound along
the Portland Mall route. Like similar signs elsewhere on MAX, this one
allows for up to four colors to be displayed. For now there are two
regular lines, Green and Yellow. But also running here is the MAX Mall Shuttle, which operates every half hour on weekday afternoons
between PSU and Union Station.
And on Sunday afternoons, the Vintage Trolley plies these stations, having
been relocated upon the Mall's opening from its former route, which
connected city center
east-west with the Lloyd Center area east of the Willamette
River.
The poster below was on display shortly before the route opened for light
rail. Pioneer Courthouse Square appears in its center left; and beyond
that, on the other side of SW Morrison St., is the once-named
Meier & Frank
Building. That famous local department store chain has
been subsumed into Macy's, which occupies the building's lower floors. A hotel is
above. |
