I love all those cars and wagons just crossing seemingly at random back and forth right in front of the moving cable cars. Just, y'know, drive wherever, it's cool. :-D

It didn’t quite flow with what I decided to write about, so I didn’t include this little factoid: some Internet sleuth went through and mapped out the cars and found that there were only about ten of them. I think we can reasonably posit that they were directed to come back in and out of frame for the cinematic reason of providing that more frenzied, chaotic scene, making the armchair ride more thrilling. It worked!

It most certainly worked. There were some very close calls in that footage. I thought people were just as bad at driving then as they are now! Thanks for the time travel, Martini.
