Station layout

The station sits at the west end of the Tilikum Crossing bridge. It consists of four tracks and two island platforms. The outer lanes are used by MAX trains and the inner lanes are used by the Portland Streetcar's Loop Service and buses. SW Moody Avenue, including the Portland Streetcar NS Line, cross the transit way just west of the station; there, the Loop Service merges with the NS Line and both share stops just to the north. East of the station, the Streetcar tracks merge with the MAX tracks to cross the Tilikum Crossing.[2]

Bus service

TriMet bus lines 9-Powell and 17-Holgate serve the station, using stops located on the same platforms as used by MAX but a different section of each platform. In addition, TriMet bus lines 35 and 36 pass by the station when southbound only (and serve the southbound streetcar stop).[3] (A fifth bus line serving the station is 291-Orange Night Bus, which substitutes for MAX service late at night and has only one or two trips per day.)[4]
