A shoehorn job for sure! The ex-Milwaukee cars will be relocated onto the spur currently under construction for ORHF with access next to the PGE substation. The LRT will cross the OPR at grade in the present location of the MILW cars.
As to ORHF's space constraints and coexistence with streetcars, etc.....I'll leave that up to the experts!
