This 3 mile long tunnel connects downtown Portland
with the western suburbs. A huge tunnel boring machine was used to carve
out the twin tubes. There is one station, Washington Park. At 290 feet
below the ground level entrance. It is the deepest transit station in
North America. 4 elevators whisk passengers up to the surface so you may
visit the Oregon Zoo, Forestry Center and the Children's Museum.
