The Westside extension was the first expansion to the
original fifteen miles of MAX, and it more than doubled the
system's length when it opened in 1998. The eighteen miles to Hillsboro includes what is likely the most ambitious and costliest
light rail segment anywhere in the country, the deep Robertson Tunnel, which extends
three miles under West Hills.
In this view a train has recently emerged from the tunnel's eastbound portal, and has passed
beneath high, old,
handsome Vista Bridge. The station just ahead for it is Goose Hollow/SW Jefferson
St.
And after two further stops it will be in downtown, and on the original
route. |
