Portland > MAX Light Rail > Yellow Line
This is my favorite station on the Yellow Line. The art motif is a memorial to all the Japanese who were forced to register for interment at this location in 1942. The current north building at the Expo Center was converted to a cattle expo to a human city by merely laying boards over the dirt and putting up partitions for families. They lived here until permanent camps were established in California and other desert location. The Station has Japanese Tori, or shrine gates, with metal tags. The tag have the names of each person who was registers. The tags are similar to the number tags each Japanese was given when they arrived. On the station platform is a luggage chest and a small child's chest. This station is currently the end of the line. Click any image to enlarge |
