The route emerges from the tunnel to the west to parallel the north 
	side of SW Sunset Hwy., a busy freeway that has its own tunnels.  The 
	next stop outbound, pictured here, is a long way from the station deep under Washington Park.  
	It 
	is Sunset Transit Center, a busy transfer point with buses  
	 
	The scene was significant for this intrepid photographer.  This was his 
	first close-up view of the new MAX vehicles, introduced to the public just a 
	few days before in August, 2009.  The 400 Series is manufactured by Siemens, like the 
	two previous vehicle models. |
