OCT 26 1958 - The Magic Mountain stagecoach, which made a cross-country run from Chicago without anything like this happening, rests ignominiously along U. S. Highway 40 Saturday as dignitaries from Golden scramble out. The Coach, on its way to Magic Mountain park for ceremonies to make the park a part of Golden, skidded off road as its six-horse team swung into a turn. But no one was hurt, and ceremonies went off as planned. (Denver Post archive photo by George Barley) #stagecoach #highway40 #goldenco #horses #horsedrawncarriage #wagonwheel #dpthrowback
