===Segments=== The MAX rail network is approximately {{convert|60|mi|km}} long. It was built in a series of six projects starting with the {{convert|15.1|mi|km|adj=on}} Banfieldânow called Eastsideâsegment between downtown Portland and Gresham. Each successive project has either been an extension or a [[branch line|branch]] of an existing segment. TriMet has typically paired each project with the opening of a new line, often making the line and segment synonymous (e.g. "Airport MAX Red Line").<ref>{{cite web |url=https://trimet.org/history/maxoverview.htm |title=MAX Light Rail Project History |publisher=TriMet |access-date=April 28, 2023 |archive-date=May 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230502012622/https://trimet.org/history/maxoverview.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> {{maplink|frame=yes|frame-align=center|frame-width=900|frame-height=450|frame-lat=45.516|frame-long=-122.71|zoom=11|type=line|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Wikipedia KML/MAX Light Rail}}|text=A geographic map of the MAX Light Rail network.
