<P> The tram consists of two stations and a single intermediate tower . Two tram cars operate in a pendular mode on parallel track ropes and are pulled in unison by a haul rope which is driven by an engine at the lower terminal ; when one car is at the upper terminal , the other is at the lower terminal , and vice versa . The lower station is located beside an OHSU facility in the South Waterfront neighborhood , adjacent to a stop on the Portland Streetcar line , which connects the South Waterfront neighborhood with downtown Portland . The upper station is located adjacent to OHSU Hospital , on the university 's Marquam Hill campus . The two stations are exactly east and west of each other separated by a horizontal distance of 3,300 feet ( ⁄ mi ; 1.0 km ) and a vertical distance of 500 feet ( 152.4 m ) . The maximum vertical clearance between the tram and the ground is 175 feet ( 53.3 m ) . </P>
