Kauffman and Arrowhead stadiums are over a mile from your Peculiar line, and with 100+ events a year might be worth a branch. There's what looks like an abandoned right of way with intact bridges that passes by the stadiums and parallels Raytown Rd through a slightly dense suburban area. It passes within a mile of the Independent line north of I-470, in a lightly developed area that could offer a shared yard/shop location.<br /><br />West of KC, Kansas Speedway and Sporting Park host far fewer events, and are situated next to a disgustingly sprawly mall. It's across a river and several miles from the Lawrence line, and just as far from the Leavenworth line. It looks difficult to serve, so BRT on State Rd is probably the best option.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
