Council Crest Line - Part 2


Photos by Pdxrailtransit


The Council Crest line lives on in the form of the Portland Vintage Trolley (Website.) The replica Brill cars no longer run on their old Lloyd Center route due to increased LRV traffic on the Steel Bridge with the addition of the Yellow and Green Max lines. The cars run on Sundays on the new transit mall on Fifth and Sixth Avenues, also known as the "shadow" Union Station Loop route.

It is 61 years to late to catch the narrow gauge trolley car to Council Crest, but taking a ride on the nearest bus equivalent is worthwhile, even if your bus does break down, and you have to walk all the way back to Goose Hollow, as happened to me!
