MAX delays- 4:30pm
According to the announcer, a MAX train is stuck on the Steel bridge. Trains Eastbound are sitting stacked up at each stop. Advise you to take a bus instead.

silly trimet… by the time i went to head home last night (hours after this post), there was only a slight delay with the train itself but it was obvious that it had been backed up for some time ’cause the damn car was PACKED. and yet i checked the TriMet Alert thingamabob online and there was never any notation about MAX delays. anyway, thanks for the heads up.
Ah, the drawback of light rail: any little glitch with one train or one location will screw up the whole system.
uh, Aaron…your point? Do you have other suggestions instead of MAX?
Then of course that same problem occurred on Hwy 26. A little land slide and everything was done. Everyone ended up on Burnside, it took about 2 hrs to get from SE to NW. Probably a bunch on Barber too but I don’t head that way too much. I thought it was hilarious personally, because I don’t use the 26 tunnel. I tend to just not visit the west side. I’ll take the SW/SE or NE any day (Or NW this side of 28th).
Either way, you kill a primary artery and all goes to hell real fast. 26 was closed for 3 days. The car stink was annoyingly “stinky”. It’s amazing how much waste sitting cars make.
