Hi Peter-- THREE Muni streetcar lines were running thru the Twin Peaks tunnel for the past several years. The L, K, and M. The N-line ran thru the Sunset Tunnel. The J- ran up thru Dolores Park to 30th & Broad Streets.
PORTOLA Drive ran thru the residential areas on top of Twin Peaks proper. There were TWO stations in the tunnel. FOREST HILL and EUREKA VALLEY. Forest Hill had a giant, manually operated elevator for bringing riders to and from the entrance far up above, where they passed thru a very ornate looking entrance.
See my next post following this one-- another story from the Archives of KRK......
