Just out of curiosity, what was the original design of the end of the line before the extension to 4th & King?

All lines used to terminate at Embarcadero. Just before entering the station (coming from Montgomery), there's a double crossover that allowed outbound trains to board using both platforms.

The double crossover should still be there--most lines still terminate at Embarcadero.

Because this arrangement, back in the day anytime after 4 p.m., I would never ride to the end at Embarcadero if I had to go that far; inbound trains would just stack up and wait for the outbounds to clear. (And if it was aboard one of the miserable non-A/C Boeings, that made it triple-worse.)
