On this day in 1920, the San Francisco Municipal Railway expanded K Ingleside streetcar service by adding four outbound late night runs departing from the Ferries as late as 2:33 a.m. and operating through the Twin Peaks Tunnel. Wouldn't it be nice to have late night service in the Twin Peaks Tunnel now...
