This is NOT a station, but it is the hub
for the MAX system. ALL MAX line lines cross this bridge. The Bridge
itself was opened in 1910. It is a unique telescoping lift bridge. The
lower level is used by Union Pacific Trains heading to Portland Union
Station. The lower level can be raised separate from the upper level. The
upper level has two outside traffic lanes, and the 2 inner lanes are now
reserved for MAX trains only. To the west of the bridge the tracks split
between the Transit Mall branch and the Original Mainline. One the east
side of the bridge, the tracks split between the north Interstate branch,
and the Original Mainline.
