A commuter train in Portland derailed on Friday morning.
Transit provider TriMet told KOIN 6 News that the MAX train was moving from two line alignments when ice that had built up caused the train to come off the rails.
No one was injured.
MAX service is now disrupted through downtown Portland, between Goose Hollow and Gateway Transit Center, and on the entire Orange/Yellow alignment.

TriMet urged riders use alternate transportation or regular bus service, but cautioned some bus lines are not running on schedule due to slick road conditions.
