The E Embarcadero is a historic streetcar line that is the San Francisco Municipal Railway's second heritage streetcar line in San Francisco, California. Trial service first ran during the Sunday Streets events on The Embarcadero in 2008.[2] The line initially ran on weekends only,[3][4] but expanded to weeklong service in late April 2016.[5]

In March 2020, the line was suspended indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as of 2024, the line is still not operating.[1][6]
