Time Machine - A Ride Through San Francisco April 1906 a week before the great earthquake:



"A historical ride (camera mounted on the front of a cable car) down Market Street in San Francisco in 1906. It was one of the first 35mm films ever taken. The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there. The film was originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn, with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, figured out exactly when it was shot. New York trade papers announced the film showing the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall. Shadows indicated the time of year and actual weather conditions on the historical record. The records even provided when the autos were registered and who owned them according to the issued plates. Supposedly, the street scenario was filmed only four days before the quake, and the film shipped by train to NY for processing."

Jag hittade filmen först här på fejjan:

"RIDE ON THE CABLE CAR IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1906


105 YEAR OLD FILM CLIP

This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever that has come to light. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car as it`s traveling down the street. You feel as if your really there, standing at the front looking down the street, amazing piece of historic
film.
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. ... How many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick upafter the horses? Talk about going green!

Great historical film!


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
recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!).. It was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906
and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing, but true!

No wonder there had to be laws created to regulate driving habits. This is insane. Good thing they couldn't go very fast.

This is a fascinating movie. A camera on the front of a street car 104 years ago. I watched it a couple of times. Look at the hats the ladies were wearing and the long dresses. Some of the cars had the steering wheels on the right side, I wonder when they standardized on the left? Sure was still a lot of horse drawn vehicles in use. Mass transit looked like the
way to get around. Looks like everybody had the right of way.

Perhaps the oldest "home movie" that you will ever see!"

Jag läste att några hade analyserat bilarna i videoklippet och med hjälp av registreringsskyltarna kommit fram till att det var samma bilar som åkte framför kameran om och om igen. De vände antagligen runt kvarteret.

En läcker minispårväg i trädgården.

Vad tror ni om Malmö-"superbussar" i gränderna i Gamla Stan?

Jag förstod i och för sig inte ett smack av thailändskan, men det är inte var dag man får giraffer, lemurer och A35:or i samma video!

När vi ändå talar om tvärbanans avstägning, här är en klipp från sommaren 2015 när större delen av sicklagrenen av avstängd för div. arbeten.
På den aktuella dagen så blev det en A35 som åkte fram och tillbaka mellan Alvik och Gröndalsrampen, och jag tog en provtur åt motsatt håll!
