Training, or Road Cart
Training or Road Cart - 1800’s onward. Used for fast easy transportation of a single passenger and small loads. Also used to train horses for wagon pulling. This wagon belonged to Joseph Wood, a teamster from the nearby town of Oregon House, and was donated to California State Parks in 1965 by his daughter upon his death. |
A single horse was hitched between
"shafts"
attached directly to the axle. |
The wagon would have looked similar to this one in
