WES |
The yards/shops are located adjacent to
the Wilsonville station. The trains are Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU),
built by Colorado Railcar. The builder went out of business before WES
opened. There are 3 power cars an 1 trailer. All 3 power cars are
required to meet the schedule. Trains pass at Tigard station, and just
north of Wilsonville station. The trailer is attached to one of the 3
trains running in service. In November 2009, Trimet purchased 2 RDC'
from Alaska to allow for spares. Two additional RDC formerly from
Trinity Railway Express in Dallas, Texas, were also purhased. But they
hav enot been rebuilt to use on WES.
Engineers and conductors are provided by
P&W Railroad under contract to Trimet. Conductors do NOT collect fares,
but may spot check tickets. |

RDC's newly arrived from Alaska. Tri-met purchased these cars for
back-up for the current fleet, as scheduled service required 100%
availability. The RDC's are expected in operation by late Spring 2010
