Welcome to Portland, the largest city in Oregon. Portland was the first city in the US to open a modern streetcar network. This was in 2001. However, the streetcar is not really what Portland is known for when it comes to transit. The 7 miles of streetcar are dwarfed by the 59-mile MAX Light Rail system. MAX has been around since 1986, and features both faster sections on separate right-of-ways, as well as street running. Both systems are completely separate, albeit with same gauge and electrification. However, together they combine to make one comprehensive transit network for the people of Portland. And we got to spend a whole day riding it all.

Trains Are Awesome!
