stagecoaches
Old West vehicles
Stagecoaches were horse-drawn passenger vehicles that traveled scheduled routes between towns, the primary means of long-distance land travel before railroads.
The name refers to traveling in stages—stops where fresh horses replaced tired ones.
The stagecoach arrived twice weekly carrying mail and passengers.
Stagecoach robberies became iconic in Western lore.
