Vintage Trolley |
Vintage Trolley started on the Portland MAX system in the early 1990's. They operate from a special one-track terminal near the Lloyd Center MAX station, then run downtown, ending at the MAX turnaround at 11th Ave. Trolleys typically operate Sunday's only, with no service during the winter months. With the opening of the Green/Yellow lines on the Transit Mall, the Vintage Trolley operation moved to just circulate around the transit mall, no longer serving the Lloyd District. In 2011 service is only on selected Sundays. Service totally ended in 2014. 2 trolleys were transferred to the Willamette Shore Trolley, and 2 were "sold" to St. Louis.
