The L-Taraval is one of three lines that
continue all the way southwest underground through the Muni Metro subway and the Twin
Peaks Tunnel. After the major station at West Portal it does
a sharp turn to the right, and the rest of the way is old-style street
running.
Like the last stop on the N-Judah, the outer terminal for the
L-Taraval is close to the Pacific. The namesake streets for
the two lines run parallel, about a mile and a third apart.
