Re: October 15 in RR History


 

October 15, 1950 Kansas City PCC route 58 (12th Street-Kansas Avenue) was abandoned without replacement. The 12th Street portion, entirely in Missouri, was duplicated by PCC route 59 (Jackson Avenue) to which service was added. The Kansas Avenue route was replaced by an extension of trolleybus route 46 (18th Street).? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
