Just in Portland, the eastern 2.2 miles of the MAX line in Gresham from Ruby Junction east is a former Portland Traction Company route; the western 9.7 miles from Beaverton to Hillsboro is the former Oregon Electric Railway.

It's questionable but a small portion of the Portland Streetcar in the South Waterfront area is built on the old Southern Pacific Jefferson Street Branch, once the Oregonian Railway and one of two mainlines for SP's Red Electric system out of downtown Portland.
