The station is at the intersection of NE 60th Avenue and Interstate 84, located above a Union Pacific line, but below street level. This station is connected to NE 60th Avenue by a series of stairs and elevators. The single island platform is separated from the westbound lanes of the freeway by only a low wall and the eastbound MAX tracks, causing the platform level of this station to be noisy most hours of the day.
The station was located in TriMet fare zone 2 from its opening in 1986[1] until September 2012, at which time TriMet discontinued all use of zones in its fare structure.[2]
