Location

Junipero Serra and Ocean is alight rail stop on theMuni MetroK Ingleside line, located in theSt. Francis Wood neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It originally opened around 1896 on theUnited Railroads 12 line; K Ingleside service began in 1919.

The privateMarket Street Railway opened a branch – built in just six days – of its Mission Street line along Ocean Avenue to Victoria Street on December 4, 1895, to serve the newIngleside Racetrack.^[1] The line was extended to the Ingleside House (where Ocean Avenue now meets Junipero Serra Boulevard) shortly thereafter.^[2] The1906 earthquake damaged many cable car and streetcar lines; in the aftermath, the United Railroads (URR) – successor to the Market Street Railway – closed many cable cars lines and expanded the electric streetcar system. The URR resumed service on the Ocean Avenue line on May 6, 1906; the line (route 12) was soon extended to Ocean Beach viaJunipero Serra Boulevard and Sloat Boulevard.^[3]

The city-ownedTwin Peaks Tunnel was opened on February 3, 1918, with the K Ingleside line running through the tunnel and terminating atSt. Francis Circle. On November 25, 1918, the city and the struggling URR signed the "Parkside Agreements", which allowed Muni streetcars to use URR trackage onJunipero Serra Boulevard, Ocean Avenue, andTaraval Street, in exchange for a cash payment and shared maintenance costs.^[4] The K Ingleside line was extended south onJunipero Serra Boulevard and east on Ocean toOcean and Miramar on February 21, 1919.^[3] The city purchased the private company (renamed Market Street Railway in 1921) in 1944; route 12 service was removed from Junipero Serra Boulevard and Ocean Avenue on April 8, 1945, leaving just the K Ingleside.^[3]

The line was closed and replaced by buses from February 2001 to June 7, 2003, for the Ocean Avenue Reconstruction and Improvement Project, a major street repaving and utility replacement project.^[5]

The stop is also served by the route57 bus, plus theK Bus,K Owl and91 Owl bus routes, which provide service along the K Ingleside line during the early morning and late night hours respectively when trains do not operate.^[6]
