  • The film has been edited to delete the credit for the experiment. The cameraman was Billy Bitzer, known mostly as D. W. Griffiths cameraman, who shot just about every picture Griffith made. The credit should be included in this film, at least for mass viewing.

  • better quality than many youtube vids

  • great way to go back in time!

  • @MattTheSaiyan At least you're a lot more realistic about this than the usual comments I see here.

  • @AlienBusDriver Since I can tell there's a slight jump in the film there, I think the guy was running over to the stairway you see on the left to get down to the platform.

  • @wannamlwithu You see how standards and taste have declined over time.

  • These old films are the next best thing to a time machine.

  • It's odd watching videos like this. People rushing around, doing their business, everything seems so important to them, yet everyone in that video is now dead, Strange feeling

  • Wow can't imagine it's from 106 years ago. VideoCam and Subway, New York must be so exclusive and advanced back then.

  • whoa..Grand Central platform looked so classy back then! :) now feels like...oh well..:p

  • 0:02 Someone running from the train and then disappears?
