You need to get your BASIC centuries right.

"Late 18th and early 19th centuries." = Late 1700's and early 1800's.

Perhaps you were thinking late 19th and early 20th?

The audio was mixed in 2006, according to the credits at the end of the video footage.

The station at the end is the "S" Shuttle station underneath Times Square... still looks the same. (It was the original 1/2/3 stop)

rrrright but they certainly had the ability to record audio and play it alongside the footage.

yeah, you can see that flatcar with the light rig right at the beginning - pretty cool...

Where did the sound come from? They didn't have sound pictures in 1905.

Fascinating! I love finding old film footage like this from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

FYI, a few of you need to study up on BASIC history. This film footage was recorded DECADES before films had sound. The sound you are hearing here was likely added later. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard the PA system mention "Amtrak" at the station; Amtrak wasn't formed until the early 1970s.

Around 5:57: Two men walking together, one holding onto the other's arm.

ya....this was the silent film era.......

dudes its sounlike a bomb and the R142A noise when it stops
