A streetcar dwells at the very end of operating rail in
this 2006 scene. A light late-spring rain is falling. High ramps
lead to and from Marquam Bridge, which carries freeway traffic across the
Willamette River.
If future planning comes to pass both the Streetcar and
MAX will continue to the left, across the Willamette on a new
Caruthers Bridge. That structure would be constructed as part of the
project to extend the MAX Yellow Line to Milwaukie. The Streetcar
would loop north on the other side of the river to connect with the planned
line running across Broadway Bridge into the Lloyd District. |
