History
The Portland El was constructed over a period between 1914 and 1920 after many years with horrible travelling and commuting conditions. Before the Portland El was constructed, most people used to walk to their job or use expensive cab services. The Portland El ridership was at 93% of all Portland commuters in 1923. The first train cars consisted of just a single car. Two cars as a standard was added in 1939 and the train models were replaced often to accomodate with the growing usage.

Since 1939, The trains have been changed three times. In 1965, 1974 and 2003.
