From its beginning in 1986, Portland's light rail and commuter rail network has grown to 99 stations, spanning 120 kilometres (74 miles). This animated video takes you through the timeline of when new stations were opened, forming the TriMet network that we know today.

@colormedubious4747 2 года назад

@@VanishingUnderground I love your videos but I'm going to register an objection here. Tri-Met treats the streetcar as an integral part of its rail network and it has been part of their rail system map since 2003, at least. It was also the catalyst for redevelopment of many brownfield sites in the Pearl District and remains its primary rail service. It also serves River Place and is the only direct rail connection to the aerial tram. Also-also, it serves neighborhoods east of the river which are not particularly close to MAX lines. Also-also-also, it adds another river crossing north of the Rose Quarter. Also-also-also-also, it connects several MAX lines to each other outside of downtown, performing rudimentary loop functions. It absolutely IS a mandatory inclusion, especially if you're including the aerial tram, which (I've been told) is NOT a train. :D

I've lived in downtown Portland for 20 years and use MAX regularly. While there is talk on the internet about going underground, the reality is I doubt it will happen in my lifetime. We can't even get funding approved for additional above-ground light rail projects (the Barbur extension of the Green Line, as others have mentioned) so it seems extremely unlikely we will approve funding to replace a reasonably functional system that goes through the most expensive real estate in the city. Eventually it will be needed, sure, but I doubt it will happen before 2050 or later.

@isedmiston2 2 года назад

No, only one set of tracks in each direction. Each individual line runs at 15 minute headways, so a train every 7.5 minutes or so on sections where two lines share track, and every 5 minutes where three lines share. The bridge across the river between the Rose Quarter and downtown is just one track in each direction so it is quite the chokepoint.

@RRW359 2 года назад

Couple minor corrections: -You didn't mention the streetcar. I know it's only partially owned by trimet (as is WES, and IDK if the areal tram is even related to trimet) and isn't quite the same thing as full-blown rail (just like the mentioned bus-only roads and the areal tram) but it's still important to mention. -Trimet calls the Orange line a separate thing but it really is just an extention of the Yellow. All Orange trains cross the river and become Yellow and *most Yellows become Orange when they do the same. -I noticed you pronounce the river right at the beginning but then later you mispronounced it. I know it's minor but as a local I notice these things. *I don't know the exact frequency but occasionally there are Yellow trains that only go to the Rose Quarter and then become Blue and follow that line. I believe there are also Blue trains that do the reverse.

@stickynorth 2 года назад

Another great video. I love Portland and how "weird" it is... Weird as in different from most American cities. The only downside is the average running speed of the Light Rail is painfully slow. Like the worst of any city I've ever visited... It's great if you're not in a hurry but otherwise it feels like a novelty ride meant to increase cool points... Maybe a downtown subway and/or express services would be appropriate eventually. Then again that seems antithetical to what the city is about...

To connect the Red and Yellow, the Red would have to bypass the airport, which is basically the entire reason for the Red. Plus, I'm not sure how much demand there is for a line from the Expo Center to the airport along Marine Drive. As far as the Yellow and Orange goes, it goes against what Trimet is doing with separating longer routes. When the fare included limited transfers, the longer routes made sense. With a timed ticket with unlimited transfers, the shorter routes work best. Less likely for delays to screw up a route miles from that delay.

So Portlamd should put its light rail downtown underground is now the consensus here...Pittsburgh did that in the 1980s and it worked but disruption to downtown buisness that we are trying to save works be huge.
