The Cal Park Hill Tunnel
The Cal Park Hill Tunnel runs for 1,106 feet through the hill to Larkspur.[1] It opened in 1884 and was a double-track train tunnel owned by Northwestern Pacific Railroad.[1] Train service stopped in the 1960s.[1] It is now owned by Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART).[1] After a $27 million project, jointly funded by SMART and Marin County, half of the tunnel reopened in December 10, 2010 as a bicycle and pedestrian path.[1] Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit plans to use the other half to extend their planned commuter rail line from downtown San Rafael to the Larkspur ferry terminal.[1]
