Streetcars in Kansas City began as horsecar operations in 1869, followed by cable cars and electrification after the 1880s.
Twenty-nine of the PCC cars were later acquired by the Toronto Transit Commission.
One car was returned to Kansas City in 2006 and restored as KCPS 551 after serving in Toronto (ex-TTC 4752) and San Francisco (ex Muni 1190).
It was placed on static display initially at Kansas City Union Station and later in 2017 at River Market.
[5][6][7] One of the most famous routes, The Country Club Line, had rail until the 1990s when it became a hike and bike recreation trail.
