J car ran along Church to 30th Street. Broad Street is on the M line. In PCC days J and N cars ran through Twin Peaks Tunnel on pull out and turn in trips, the only way to and from the Geneva car barn.

Forest Hill station is on Laguna Honda Blvd. Transfer point for bus routes up on the street. Muni ran a special small bus on the Laguna Honda hospital shuttle back in streetcar days, a very short route.

Ironic the J car was eventually extended from 30th & Church to Geneva thru Bernal Cut, once an SP route; then on San Jose Ave., former Market Street Railway route. Everything old is new gain.
