[quote:Anonymous Coward 27951003:MV8yMDgwNTY4XzM1MDMzNzEyXzE2OTg0MUZD] [quote:ChivalryKnight:MV8yMDgwNTY4XzM1MDMyMzc0XzE2MTQ4Q0Y2] Freakin' incredible... no traffic laws... just a free for all flow! Rail cars are like giant ghosts. Women with the giant "flower" hats Fat police man with night stick walking the beat. [/quote] i love this clip watched it many times ...so many near misses of people almost getting hit or run over lol .... This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car. The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there. (I'm also wondering ... how many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick up after the horses? Talk about going green!) This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from a recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered.... It was filmed only four days before the quake and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing but true! [/quote]
