TriMet MAX Type 1 Farewell Event Full Coverage!

Description YT

This is a very different video from what I normally do. On April 18th, 2026, the farewell event for the TriMet MAX Type 1 trains—which have been in service since 1986 when the system opened—took place and marked the retirement of the MAX Type 1 LRVs.

These trains mean a lot to me, as I essentially grew up on them. So I wanted to share this moment with you all and document the event to the best of my ability, giving this video the recognition it deserves.
