San Francisco's main thoroughfare, Market Street, is a hive of activity in this 1906 "dashcam" style archive footage movie. The trip was filmed from the front of a cable car, and shows horse drawn and motorised traffic weaving between the cable cars & horse drawn trams, often narrowly missing pedestrians by just inches. The downtown area pictured here was all but destroyed by the infamous 1906 earthquake and subsequent fires.You can download a high quality version of this film from the Prelinger Archives collection at https://archive.org/details/TripDownMarketStreetrBeforeTheFireWDTVLIVE42 - Transport, technology, and general interest movies from the past - newsreels, documentaries & publicity films from my archives.
