Eastern portal of the Twin Peaks Tunnel, near Eureka Station. The portal itself is also unused.

The Eureka Street Station was a streetcar station in San Francisco, California from 1918 until 1972. It is located very close to the eastern end of the Twin Peaks Tunnel, in the Eureka Valley neighborhood. To allow for construction of the Muni Metro, the station was closed and the new Castro Street Station was built to provide service to the nearby areas. The station was not demolished or blocked off from the tunnel after being closed, and can still be seen when passing through on a Muni Metro streetcar. It is now used as an emergency exit from the subway, and the emergency exit doors can be seen at street level at Market Street.
