- Various kinds of transportation on the Oregon Trail. Note different types of vehicles. St. Louis, for many years, was the point of departure for the northwest. The first wagon train to cross the plains to the Rocky Mountains left there April 10, 1830. Later with the introduction of steamboats on the Missouri River, Independence and Westport were the principal rendezvous for Santa Fee and Oregon Trails. Military expeditions went out from Fort Leavenworth and the Pony Express service from St. Joseph.
