I believe the following may relate to the culvert in question.
In a message dated 6/2/2006:
A 24 unit housing development is proposed at the Bocci Memorial site. The old office is to be moved across EC to the former display area. Colma Hist has a copy of the proposed plan. The whole face of the culvert is to be dismantled and placed at the N/E cor of the property, with a pond {and running water?} palm trees,etc.The area is right at the entrance to Colma Bart station. Colma creek from Bart entrance to the culvert will be covered. I hope they take good care of the slab with "SF&SJ R.R. 1862" etc. Stand by----
That is all I know.
