This is interesting as it portrays life in San Fran going down Market Street in 1906 -- can't believe all the RHD cars on the road -- and the driving LOL -- about 50/50 between autos and horse drawn vehicles -- most the large/heavy vehicles still being pulled by Horses -- Please enjoy

I recently watched a TV special about that film.
They studied every aspect of it.
Even went as far to track down the registrations of the cars and the names of the owners !
fascinating !
