This is strictly a turnaround facility
for eastside trains. It was the original MAX terminus. When the Airport,
Red Line opened, in 9/01, this was its terminal, until it was extended to
Beaverton in 9/03. the turnaround became active again for regular MAX
trains when the Yellow Line opened in 5/04. But now the Yellow line has
switch to 5th/6th Avenues. Vintage Trolley from Lloyd Center have used
this turnaround for their terminal, but it too now uses 5th & 6th Aves. So
this is strictly used for short-turn eastside blue trains, or for
emergencies.
