MAX Car 418 Has Been Repainted! + Ride from Sunset TC-Hillsboro

[@daviddooley5361]

Saw this one just last week on the blue line and this week it's running on the green line. 3 years ago I read where Trimet was going to build a facility in Clackamas County to refurbish all their type 2 and 3 MAX cars.

Idk about Clackamas but They plan on building a new yard in Tigard when the Southwest corridor project gets built.

I thought this was one of the new Type 6 cars this whole time 💀💀💀

[@rosecitybusman129]

The Phase 4 paint scheme makes the type 4s look much better. I think anything in the Phase 4 paint scheme looks better than Phase 3 IMO

[@paincreatesfame]

So I'm not crazy lol I swore I saw a train that looked different lately, I guess my suspicions are correct. This new paint scheme looks so much better IRL!

[@jordansean18]

Ive seen at least 4 type 4s repainted ti the new scheme now. Are they shipping them off to Sacramento for repainting or doing it all locally?

[@trimet101]

Trimet is doing all the painting internally at Ruby Junction. The type 2 and 3 trains are slowly getting wrapped with the new colors as well (see 250 and 223 for example)
