March 10, 1898 silent film by Thomas Edison taken on the Mill Valley railroad that used to run up Mt. Tam. Note that the train would "back up" Mt. Tam so as to keep the engine safely downhill from the passenger cars.

This footage is not reversed: the trains would "back up" Mt. Tam so that passenger cars could not break loose and roll down the hill!
