This video will take you back to San Francisco in the year 1906. More specifically, one week before the earthquake and resulting fire that destroyed some 80% of the city.
The video was shot by a camera mounted on the front of a trolley as it travelled down Market street. You will notice some suprised reactions as people see the camera. The video was sent to New York by train one day before the devastating earthquake and fire, and doing so surely saved the video because the creator's office was destroyed.
I have never seen video with horses and wagons sharing the road with automobiles. So much to see in the 11 mins, make sure to allow the trolley to turn around to catch a glimpse of the newsboys waving.
Closest thing to time travel I have seen :)
One of my favorite things on Youtube
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. :)
