Taraval and 46th Avenue is a station on the San Francisco Municipal Railway light rail network's L Taraval line. It is located in the Sunset District neighborhood. Here, the route curves to the south toward the San Francisco Zoo. Before conversion from a streetcar system to a light rail system, the L continued several blocks west and ended at the Great Highway along Pacific Ocean. While these tracks are not used for revenue operations, they are still maintained and often used for turning cars around during non-peak hours.
