In April of 2006' the Tualatin-Sherwood Road and Nyberg Road crossings were replaced/improved as part of a planned reconstruction that went along with the Boones Ferry Rd. widening and improvement. These were not related to WES Commuter Rail. These crossings were not reconstructed for the WES because they had just be reconstructed. At that same time a new Ped crossing was constructed just South of Tualatin-Sherwood Rd.

This is a siding/elongated crossover. To the casual observer it would look like double track but is just a connection from the Oregon Electric to the Tillamook branch.

On this you are wrong again, the Oregon Electric starts at Greton, North of the Tigard Station.

Stay tuned for updates, changes are coming and some of this may change.
