Stage station
Description
A stage station, also known as a relay station, posting station or a staging post, is a facility along a main road or trade route where a traveller can rest or replace exhausted horses for fresh ones, since long journeys are much faster when using well fed and rested mounts. A stage is the space between the stops known as stations, posts, or relays.
