History
Its construction in 1914 served several purposes. The rail link supplied goods and mass transit to the Panama Pacific International Exposition the following year, and the US Army utilized the line for construction of the Port of Embarkation. The tunnel operated as part of the State Belt Railroad until the route's suspension in 1993.
Future
In 2012, the National Park Service released a final environmental impact report on providing extended service though the tunnel to the San Francisco Municipal Railway F Market & Wharves line. The E Embarcadero line may also see extension through the tunnel.
