The Evolution of Kansas City Streetcars 

Growing up in KC I can still remember the rails that hadn't been paved over at Armor and Burlington in North KC.

Great video. I absolutely love your channel.

Awesome production! Mad respect for your efforts and info. Some of the best photos of historic KC I have ever seen. I’ve been researching the rail line/ streetcar subject most of my life. In the early 90s I remember a plan for a new rail line, Chastain was the politicians name tying to put the funds together. I remember respected elders/teachers saying “it was never gonna happen, big oil stopped it in the 40s.” And the voters said no. Over the years of researching, I have found some conflicting information on the cost of building, operating, and riding. And the converting from steam to electric and many other logistics. I do hope we can restore public transportation in KC. I have done A lot of research and a lot of math, and it should be profitable connecting Olathe, KC, Excelsior Springs, Lawrence, MCI airport. Financially and socially profitable!

Great job! Helpful history. Love your channel and looking forward to more.

Well done! 👍

i just found your channel and have sub'd. i look forward to more vids like this, it was really informative.

You all did an amazing job!!!

Great information. This city was build on the streetcar, and hopefully we can rebuild with the streetcar. Just need to get those East West connections going.

Fascinating look at our city's history!

Love the videos on this channel! I'm a big history geek. Are these done as part of a school program?

Found the narration very difficult to understand and no CC.
