Here's a great historical film on the San Francisco cable cars in 1906 with a lot of wagons moving around.

Nice film Gordon.

Can you imagine this nowadays? Cars, wagons, bikers (didn't see Marc  ;) ) crossing the street from left to right and back without noticing each other as I didn't see any vehicle with a rearview mirror.

Hmmm...maybe someone can refresh my memory......I can't seem to recall when exactly they started using plywood panesl on a welded square-tube steel frame, and cheap welded tube steel bars/door, to build prisoner enclosures with in the wild west. ??? ::)  I must have been absent that day. ;)

The top looks like a mock up. The bottom is probably just an old farm wagon.

Here's an old tinkers wagon.
