This film was shot maybe 4 days before the earthquake. There was some publicity about it and people were encouraged to drive their cars down to Market Street to show them off. This clip has sound added. There are several types of street cars—cable cars, electric trolley cars and horse-drawn streetcars shown. Automobiles pedestrians, horse-drawn carrages, even a guy on horseback. Also the rules of the road weren’t quite set in stone.
At the very end, when the cable car gets to the Embarcadero, there’s a man with a long beard. He could have been a ‘49er back in the day.
