The Portland Oregon area has a lot of interesting things for the rail AND transit fan. 

 in the years 1998-2002 I used to get to Portland a couple of times a year, as the company I worked for used to be headquartered in Beaverton (rip-IMS) :-(.  I used to stay at the Courtyard which backs up to the Willamette & Pacific, and I would ask for a room in the back on the third floor... they always thought I was crazy, but it had a great views of the freights coming by, especially at four in the morn.

The individual transit maps are as follows:
    MAP 2 ..... the Portland Streetcar
    MAP 3 ..... WES - the Westside Express Service Commuter Train
    MAP 4 ..... the Downtown Area
    MAP 5 ..... the Westside Light Rail Guide
    MAP 6 ..... the Eastside Light Rail Guide
Please note, these are only maps, and not guides, so there are no pictures or information contained within.

All of the maps are available here as a PDF

If you want to know where the train action is, check out my other set of maps:

Map 2 - UP and the east side of the Willamette
Map 3 - BNSF and the west side of the Willamette
Map 4 - South of Downtown, Milwaukie

I would like to thank both Rick H of Vancouver WA, and Greg M of Salem OR for taking the time to show me around, take me along to chase 4449, and helping me find things on my many trips to Portland, Salem, and Eugene.  I will be adding pictures they have sent me as time permits.

If you have any additional info you would like to share with the rest of us, it would be greatly appreciated.... please email me, it's toddgp30@yahoo.com

Below is the whole system map, but it needs updating to add the green line and change the yellow line route.

Until then, here is Tri-Met's system map:
