(Portland, OR) -- Around two-thousand people attended an event Saturday in Portland to celebrate the Type 1 MAX train. It was the original train built for the light rail system 40 years ago. The Type 1 trains are being phased out for newer trains. People signed the side of the train writing farewell messages. The Type 1 trains are being scrapped with the materials being used for construction projects. One of the trains was sent to the Oregon Electric Railway Museum in Brooks, Oregon.
