According to the August 10th, 2005 Citizen Advisory Committee minutes [1], the Gibbs extension is also planned to be continued south to Lowell Dr.
Also, aren't streetcar operators TriMet employees and doesn't TriMet help pay for operations? If so, the only real difference from MAX is who owns it.-- 67.160.146.193 22:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
I am not sure but I think that Vintage Trolley service has resumed. For example, see [2]. I am pretty sure though that they cannot run on part of the RiverPlace extension (too steep a grade)-- 67.160.146.193 05:27, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
I was informed that and was shown that Portland Streetcars can be coupled on a visit to the Portland Streetcar yards in the summer of 2004. The couplers are hidden under the cabs at each end behing the "bumper" skirts. The only time that streetcars are coupled is when a crippled streetcar needs to be towed back to the yard. This is done by dispatching a rescue train and copling it to the stricken vehicle.
Some pictures I found of such an instance:

Was the route of the streetcar once a bus route, or was it an all-new route? -- NE2 16:55, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I have made maps of the Portland Streetcar and MAX Light Rail systems and submitted them to Picture Peer Review. If anyone would like to, feel free to comment on them there. Thanks, Jason McHuff ( talk) 01:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Six months after the opening of the MAX Green and Yellow lines on the transit mall, the map in the Portland Streetcar article has yet to be updated to reflect that the streetcar now crosses those lines in the area of PSU Urban Center. The configuration of the rail lines is rather complex in that area, and I have no idea how to make the revisions myself. (And apparently neither does Peteforsyth, who originally added the "update needed" tag to that section of the article last September, but did not mention it here, on the article's talk page.) Can someone with Wikipedia route diagram expertise please tackle this? SJ Morg ( talk) 11:31, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
"Cars 001 through 005 have been in operation since 2001, while cars 006 and 007 were added in 2002. These seven were built by a now-defunct joint venture between Škoda Works and Inekon, and are Škoda 10 T models, originally also called Astra 10T."
The name is either Škoda 10T or Škoda Astra, not Astra 10T. 10T is company designation, while Astra is marketing name (see other Škoda models, i.e. Škoda 05T (Vektra), Škoda 13T/14T/16T/19T (Elektra), and newest Škoda 15T (ForCity).
Maybe you can also consider putting in also Škoda Tram infobox, so that the reader can easily reach other models.

The tag I applied is specific to source 64 ( http://www.portlandonline.com/transportation/index.cfm?c=46134&). Those require logging in. Is the source available on a public site? If not, we need a new source. Will ( Talk - contribs) 11:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Needs update to show new route. -- ben_b ( talk) 06:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello all,
In light of recent deliveries of United Streetcar rolling stock (see, for example, Portland Tribune 08/26/13), I wanted to suggest that the Vehicle sections focusing on the Škoda/Inekon & United Streetcar rolling stock be reworked in it's entirety. As I've no editing credit, I didn't want to go in and muck about only to have my edits rejected en mass. My thoughts were to re-write those sections by combining the sub-sections "Current fleet" & "U.S. built streetcars", retitling that section to something like "Current rolling stock". Then creating two tertiary sections, one that focused on the history of the initial Škoda/Inekon & Inekon rolling stock, the other on the United Streetcar rolling stock.
thoughts?
Yours,

The CL Line has been renamed the "Loop Service" with two loops (designated "A & B") which travel in clockwise and counter clockwise directions. [3] I'm planning on making a page for the line (similar to the NS Line (Portland Streetcar) page.) My plan right now is to use the name "Loop Service (Portland Streetcar)". Any thoughts or objections before I do? JohnMcButts ( talk) 00:22, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

The "Other Proposals" Section that is flagged as in need of a source has some of the expansions supported in a map of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. However, finding these segments require significant clicking around, and I do not see a list of the proposals elsewhere in great detail. There are small references in the TSP Master Projects List. I would recommend keeping the section, but on the condition that more readable sources may be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Francehopper ( talk • contribs) 22:49, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

This is a very minor style change, but it appears that Portland Streetcar have changed the color for the B Loop from a Cyan/Light Blue to a Purple color. The new system maps for Both TriMet and the Streetcar show it. I've been looking for an announcement of some kind, but haven't had any luck so far.
The colors aren't used extensively on the streetcar articles here, but they should get updated at some point. JohnMcButts ( talk) 17:37, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
