The Army improved the trail for use by wagons and stagecoaches in 1859 and 1860. All wagons were painted in yellow which was the colour of stagecoaches at that time. The majority of outlaws in the Old West preyed on banks, trains, and stagecoaches. Indians also preyed upon stagecoaches travelling in the frontier for its horses and valuables. The development of railways in the 1830s spelled the end for stagecoaches and mail coaches. Shotgun messengers guarded express shipments, not stagecoaches. In 1866, it was widened to a wagon road that accommodated stagecoaches. Stagecoaches and trains can also be used to travel. Roosevelt was rushed by a series of stagecoaches to North Creek train station. Historic trails used by nineteenth century stagecoaches are also part of the Red Desert's legacy. Pinchbeck jewellery was used in places like stagecoaches where there was a risk of theft. The service began with a fleet of six horse-drawn stagecoaches. There were stagecoaches to Erin and Georgetown. In coaching days, 150 stagecoaches passed through Barnet daily. Their suspension employed thoroughbraces that were much shorter than those used on Concord stagecoaches.
