Pony Express was faster than our News is now.
Quickest Run:

7 days and 17 hours. The riders were carrying President Lincoln's Inaugural Address.

3. trail still exists
It's amazing how indigenous species never grew back. 300 miles in our state you can see the trail... ending up in Reno/Sparks residential neighborhood.
