Since there are no cars, trains, or passenger jet services you take the most reliable and speedy form of transportation available at the time: a wagon. After completing this dangerous trip you hear about the new cutting edge technology that has just reduced the dangerous 2,000 mile trip down to a week, all for the price of one ticket. In 1869, after decades of travel, the Oregon Trail fell into disuse.
