Although it appears that there are many automobiles in the film, the number of them is deceiving, because the same cars frequently circle around and pass by the cable car on more than one occasion; California began registering automobiles in 1905, and license plates are visible on several of them; the car with plate 5057 was registered in February 1906 by the Reliance Auto Company.
There is a mobile game "A Trip down Market Street" based on the movie.
Produced as part of the popular Hale's Tours of the World film series, the film begins at the location of the Miles Brothers film studio, 1139 Market Street, between 8th and 9th Streets; it was filmed 14 April 1906, four days before the devastating earthquake and fire of 18 April 1906, which virtually destroyed the entire downtown area. The negative was taken by train to the Miles New York office on 17 April 1906, narrowly saving it from destruction by one day and thus preserving a moment in the history of San Francisco that would soon cease to exist.
