The Forest Hill station -- this scene is from the
outbound platform -- is the single stop within the Twin
Peaks Tunnel, and is the only underground station on Muni currently in
operation not built
in connection with the downtown subway project.
The tunnel's opening goes back to 1918, and was in some ways ahead of its
time; urban development at West Portal and beyond needed years to come to catch up with the new transit options suddenly available to and
from downtown San
Francisco. |
