Sunnyvale California is planning on doing Grade Separation Project is to lower Mary Ave underneath the Tracks & Evelyn. They can do it here too, in Tualatin.
@@matthewadventureexploratio6596 yeah. It would be very expensive though and hard to build because Boones Ferry would have to also be underground. It’s better if the tracks went on a bridge and the Tualatin WES station was elevated
If I were to build a Double track mainline, I would bring Amtrak services and make it easier for people from tualatin and Sherwood to travel to California.
@@thomasdeturk5142 all they have to do is hop on a bus or the WES and take it to Beaverton TC, then get on the MAX and take it downtown to the union station
I remember something. There used to be a railroad in garden Oregon that used to connect between Beaverton and Portland. And there was also the Burlington Northern railroad in Orenco between Hillsboro and Beaverton and it used to be a right of way before that BN railroad was converted into the blue line after BN sold the railroad to the Max line with the Forest grove line between Hillsboro and Forest grove being the last one to remain until The Portland and western abandoned the line In 2023.
@@thomasdeturk5142 the P&W abandoned the bit of track that goes into Banks for the lumber mill. Trains still go from Hillsboro, past Banks, and through North Plains
Yes, but it was the line between banks and Tillamook that got abandoned due to the 2007 washout. And I hate it being converted into a trail. But if I was a billionaire I would rebuild the line and I would have lobbied against the Salmonberry project and also take it to court to stop them from making the project.
