Trimet brags about how they invented light rail
I used to ride this trolley back when I was a kid when I went to visit my grandmother, that was before Trimet even existed
The "modern" light rail trains were actually "invented" if you will by Calgary and San Diego.
Portland - about ten years later. Portland does get credit for being, at the time, the smallest city to introduce light rail, but Portland no longer maintains that significance either.
The Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line, also known as the "M-Line", in Boston and Milton, Massachusetts is officially part of the MBTA's Red Line, but it uses heritage streetcars, and ongoing passengers have to transfer at Ashmont. The only MBTA line to run through a cemetery, it opened on August 26, 1929. Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
