The last Kansas City streetcar line shut down in 1957. More than fifty years later, the first new streetcar arrived in town on November 2, delivered from the CAF USA facility in Elmira, N.Y. Testing will begin in hopes of launching the new streetcar service in Spring 2016. The $100 million, two-mile long route will run from the River Market to Union Station, with 16 stops.
