New MAX cars (Portland, OR, USA)
New MAX Trains Coming in 2009
More seats, larger windows and a sleek design
TriMet has ordered 21 new MAX trains from Siemens Transportation Systems for the I-205/Portland Mall MAX Light Rail Project.
The new low-floor trains will have a streamlined look with larger windows and 12 more seats per car (as there is only one operator cab per train). Each car will have 76 seats, versus 64 on our current low-floor MAX. The trains cost about $3.5 million each.
The new trains will go into service when the I-205/Portland Mall light rail lines open in September 2009.
