Those aren't streetcars, they're cable cars. They have no motors and go 8 MPH flat out. The spikey building dead canter, at the end of Market Street, is the Ferry Building and it's still there. At one point the cable car passes 1 block north of Highland Technology World Headquarters. John

I turn right just about at Van Ness. These are streetcars now. The slot between the tracks is gone. MUNI is still killing pedestrians at a steady clip. John

It struck me as being later than 1905 though. I looked up when California required license plates. It was 1913-1914. The cars seem a little too sophisticated for 1905 too. |
