     Thank you for that interesting view of history. What a free for all that appeared to be. It's a wonder there weren't a lot of accidents.  Interesting that there were cable cars as well as horse drawn trolleys on separate tracks. Quite a variety of styles of horse drawn freight hauling wagons too.

Looked to me that because of the slower speed of vehicles back then, one could stroll across the street without much danger of getting run over.
