Mud Wagon
Other Names
Stage wagon
Description
The mud wagon was a type of stagecoach. It had a more complex design than the mountain wagon, but was simpler than the Concord stagecoach. It was mostly used as a passenger wagon and was designed to be light weight. It was used in mountainous regions with poor roads. The name "mud wagon" comes from the fact that the roads it was used on were often muddy.
