Want to ride 1980s-vintage LRVs still in daily service?. Take it to the MAX -- in Portland, Ore.
TriMet still has its 26 100-series Bombardier LRVs in regular service. Each one is normally teamed with one of the 200- or 300-series Siemens low-floor cars, since there are no high level platforms or wheelchair lifts.
Most of the 100-series cars have had their mid-life overhauls; the redone cars wear TriMet's current blue/yellow scheme. There are several 100s that have not yet gone through rebuilding and still wear their original three-stripe scheme.
Incidentally, MAX turns 30 this September.
