View of a road passing through a cement tunnel under an old railroad line.

View looking north at the entrance to an old railroad bridge tunnel in Temescal Regional Recreation Area. The tunnel displays evidence of creep from movement along the Hayward Fault. The tunnel at the south entrance to the park on Broadway Terrace near the intersection with Highway 13.
