A trolley car pulls up and stops. Passengers board, one pausing to tip his hat to the camera.

It's a common enough scene for the oldest movies, and Casimir Sivan was the first film maker in Switzerland. He had the local franchise for the Lumieres, and had invented his own camera and projector, so he and his partner filmed a few movies of their own. In broad outline it's nothing remarkable for the era; certainly the Lumieres did lots of scenes involving trains stopping in a station. This one, however,has a distinctly workaday appearance to it, and a found crew fully aware of what was going on. It would be imitated in the last , most notably by Mitchell & Kenyon in Manchester.

That's assuming that it was a stolen shot. More likely, everyone knew what was going on and the scene a carefully staged.
