PORTLAND MAX LIGHT RAIL
Crossing SW Mill St. |
|
|
On a very gray weekend morning this Yellow Line train is
heading northbound for the heart of Portland, and then to travel across the Willamette
River to
reach Expo
Center. The intersection marks SW Mill St. Not visible here, the
northbound Portland Streetcar enters Mill at this location, to cross at
right angles to reach
its own southbound turn onto
SW 10th St.
The older Streetcar (started in 2001) and the newer Portland Mall route run generally
parallel north-south through much of center city, five or so blocks apart (closer
for northbound runs than for southbound). As with the east-west MAX
route, the Mall tracks have four locations where they cross the rails of the
Streetcar. There are no connections between Portland Mall rails and
the other system. |
