Nostalgia & History > Muni #1190 then-NowDate: 05/15/16 15:17 Muni #1190 then-Now Author: lamta_jay While I was still working, some of my accounts were in the
Kansas City Area. Then I read somewhere Kansas City put a PCC car on display at the Union Station in Kansas City. The article said the PCC car came from a California Railway Museum and it had started life in Kansas City. That car was Muni # 1190. Here are 3 shots of the car that made it back home to where it started service. I just don't know what the KCTS number was, #1.....Lee Meyers shot it in 1979 #2.....I shot it at the Western Railway Museum at Rio Vista Jct, #3.....My friend in KC Tony Stanislav shot it in 2013. What a ride ! Thanks for looking Jay    Date: 05/15/16 17:03 Re: Muni #1190 then-Now Author: norm1153 #1 In 1978 at the very end of trackage on Taravel. The other PCC was in service, and the operator used his layover time to come down and pose for photos. That's a stub end track. 1190 first made the Zoo loop, then backed down the stub track. #2 same charter, but...
Fun times had by all. Not possible now, more's the pity.   Date: 05/15/16 20:41 Re: Muni #1190 then-Now Author: PHall Now that Kansas City has street cars again, maybe they can restore her back to service?
