They run on the former OE from Hall Boulevard in Tigard south to Wilsonville.

From Hall Boulevard north to Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway/Farmington Road they run on the old Southern Pacific's Tillamook Branch. The line was electrified for the Red Electrics as the Red Electric shop was located on the route, but very few scheduled, revenue Red Electric trains actually used the route. After the OE route to Garden Home and downtown Portland was abandoned in the mid-1930s, the OE gained trackage rights on the SP route between Beaverton and Greton.

In Tigard, the current park and ride lot and the pedestrian path south to Hall Boulevard is built on the old OE right-of-way. There is talk of installing a bike path on the portion of the OE grade from Main Street north, along Tigard Avenue, to the old location of Greton (at the Tiedeman Avenue railroad crossing).
