Trip Down Market Street 1906, With Narration and Sound Effects

The famous 1906 Trip Down Market Street film by the Miles Brothers has been posted on YouTube hundreds of times, but this is the first version with both sound effects and a full narration that explains what you’re seeing and its historic significance. The narration is by San Francisco historian Rick Laubscher, who was featured in the 2010 “60 Minutes“ segment on the film. Laubscher is president of Market Street Railway, the nonprofit advocacy group that supports San Francisco’s priceless cable cars and historic streetcars.
