What the heck, no actual picture of the dashingly handsome Joe Rose himself? What a rip off! :)

Ahh, a monument towards having spent money on trains that DON'T DO ANYTHING!

Absolutely zero revenue...when the trolley does run there's only one (out of four) in service...TriMet could do us all a favor and sell them off. They were supposed to have been donated to the Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society and retrofitted so they could run from Portland to Lake Oswego on the Willamette Shores Trolley Line, but somewhere along the line that fell through. So they sit, in a nice brick building, collecting dust, while TriMet bus riders are left at bus stops waiting for buses...

It is rather interesting that they always have money for the frills but not the necessities.
