This is busy station. This station, and
Gateway on the eastside, are major transit centers. Both stations also
share the 3-track layout. In September of 2003, the red line was extended
from city center to Beaverton TC. It utilizes the center track to
turn-back. Prior to 9/03, there were several rush-hours short-turns that
used this track. Just east of this station, the track run adjacent to
OR-217 for the long climb up to Sunset Transit Center. In February 2009,
WES Commuter rail started service to this station. WES uses a separate
platform on the other side of the bus center. WES is a diesel multiple
unit train running from Beaverton south to Tigard, Tualatin and ending in
Wilsonville. Click here for
