Kansas City's First Streetcar in 50 Years Arrives
Everything’s up to date in Kansas City, including its streetcars. KC Streetcar #801, the first new streetcar in Kansas City, MO, in more than 50 years, arrived Nov. 2 from the CAF USA manufacturing plant in Elmira, NY. The Kansas City Streetcar Authority began testing the track, facilities, power infrastructure and communication systems in anticipation of integrated testing once the vehicle arrived. The modern, bi-directional streetcar vehicle is approximately 77 feet long, weighs 78,000 pounds and has a maximum rider capacity of 150. When service begins next year, four streetcars will operate on a two-mile route with 16 stops. The streetcar authority will operate and maintain the line with the Herzog Transit Group and has entered into a partnership with the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority and the city of Kansas City, MO.
