KC Streetcar #814 is Here
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (December 12, 2024) – Kansas City’s newest streetcar, #814, from vehicle manufacturer CAF USA, Inc. arrived in Kansas City today.
This is the eighth streetcar to arrive to support operation of the Main Street and Riverfront Extensions, ultimately connecting the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) to Berkley Riverfront. The KC Streetcar vehicles are picking up the numbering where it left off with the 801-806 streetcar series. The new vehicles are numbered 807-814.
CAF, along with Silk Road Transport, delivered KC Streetcar vehicle #814 more than 1,000 miles from Elmira, N.Y. to Kansas City, Missouri. Once on-site, the streetcar was offloaded onto the tracks located along 2nd Street just east of Oak Street and transported to the Kite Singleton Vehicle Maintenance Facility located at 600 East 3rd Street. KC Streetcar #814 will undergo shop testing for several weeks before it starts testing on the tracks.
