Stagecoaches did not normally run at night, for the simple reason that it was too dark to travel safely; full moons made travel at night somewhat feasible, but still not sensible. The later chase scene in the nighttime downpour--definitely no moonlight to go by--would never have happened. Anyone moving at speed in near-total darkness would have been taking an insane risk.Of course they ran at night. Butterfield's Overland Mail Line coaches kept moving all through the day and night except for brief intervals at way stations. Passengers had to try to sleep jammed into the rocking coach. Horses have excellent night vision. On a night lit by a partial moon or by bright stars alone, they can see as well as in full daylight and they can even keep going while the driver sleeps.
