Not long ago, there was a higher speed streetcar route between south waterfront and downtown. It was a single track that ran along the current double track segment. With the construction and build out of OHSU and the light rail, the corridor needed improved. But here’s a shot when there was almost nothing (except the noisy interstate just behind where the shot was taken)

Here’s another shot, from back a little ways.
