Derailed

From Oregonlive.com, "MAX train moved off downtown tracks, service slowly comes back"

A broken down MAX train was moved off the tracks this evening in downtown Portland and service is being restored.

TriMet reports that riders face delays as the Yellow and Green lines return to service. A mechanical problem on a MAX train at Southwest Fifth Avenue and Clay Street disrupted service on those lines.

Still available until the delays end: regular bus service and Red or Blue line trains between downtown and the Rose Quarter.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- MAX commuters should expect delays Monday afternoon after a mechanical problem disrupted downtown service.

A train that went off-line near the Clay Street and SW 5th Ave. platform was disrupting service, according to a TriMet spokesperson. Buses were called upon to shuttle Yellow and Green line commuters from Pioneer Square and the Rose Quarter.

Alternate TriMet bus routes and MAX lines also were available. Check the TriMet website for more information.
