The E Embarcadero is intended to become the San Francisco Municipal Railway's second heritage streetcar line in San Francisco, California, once additional historic streetcars are restored and brought into service.

Route

The line will run along the length of the Embarcadero, along existing track used by the F Market & Wharves historic streetcar and the N Judah and T Third Street Muni Metro lines. Initial service will run from Jones Street and Jefferson Street in Fisherman's Wharf to the Caltrain station at King Street and 4th Street in the Mission Bay neighborhood, but since there is no loop at the Caltrain station, so only double-ended streetcars will be able to operate on the line until the 19th Street loop is built.

To the north, the line may extend west past Aquatic Park and through an unused railroad tunnel to Fort Mason. The initial routing of the line will be nearly identical to the 32 Embarcadero bus line, which was discontinued after the F Market & Wharves began operating along the Embarcadero in 2000.

Previous E Embarcadero line

When the Muni Metro extension from Embarcadero Station to the Caltrain Station began operation in 1998, shuttle service only from Caltrain to Embarcadero was provided by an E Embarcadero Muni Metro line. This line was later replaced by an extension of the N Judah line. Today service on this segment is provided by the T Third Street and N Judah lines.
