San Francisco and thereabout 1902
Market Street from the Ferry building
There is a great
parade of cars in front of the Ferry Building. Everyone seems bound up Market
Street, either a-foot or a-cable, so why not follow the crowd.
Jumping on the first car to start, I find an outside seat. The bell rings, the
gripman throws back his lever to grip the cable. He hammers away at a foot gong
and off we roll!
