Description: Platform view of Tualatin station (in Tualatin, Oregon), on the WES Commuter Rail line of TriMet. The gauntlet track (or interlaced track), at left, allows the Portland & Western freight trains that share the same line – but include some wider cars – to pass by safely. The commuter-rail cars (or trains, but on this line it is mostly single cars) use the set of rails that is aligned to bring them closer to the platform, flush with the edge of the platform. This view is looking south. At right, minibuses on shuttle services are waiting for the next train to arrive.
